    If you have the Apple iWork '09 suite installed, you can open pure AppleWorks word processing, spreadsheet, or presentations in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote respectively. You can not open AppleWorks documents in Pages v5, Numbers v3, or Keynote v6.

     

    If you do not have the above iWork '09 suite, then download the free LibreOffice suite. Drag and drop your AppleWorks documents on the LibreOffice icon, and it will sort out what will open them. Note: LibreOffice will pause shortly after it takes you to an optional donation page — before continuing the download. Everything installs under /Applications/LibreOffice.
