I am helping a friend to set up a new iMac from a G4 iBook. She has been using
Appleworks to create databases. The most important ones she needs are the
database files ending in .cwk. She bought iWorks 09 and I installed it on the
iMac. iWorks will NOT open the files! I had her email a file to me, since I
have MacLink Plus, and Office 2001, 2004, 2008. None of these will open the
file!
1. Will Appleworks work on an Intel iMac? (which would be the simplest thing!)
2. Is there another program that will open a .cwk file?

I'm pretty sure older versions of Excel like '98 and 2001 won't ( I recall
doing something like this myself about six years ago) but I'm unsure of 2004
and up. You have to modify it first at the Appleworks end.
Open your Appleworks spreadsheet, use the mouse to
highlight all of the cells you wish to transfer to Excel. You can then
copy the selection and paste it into a blank Excel Workbook. You would
obviously have to do this on the older computer first.
You
can open your Appleworks spreadsheet and choose SAVE AS… in the FILE
FORMAT menu choose Excel MAC 98, 2001 document. Be sure to add the .xls
after the filename. Once again you would have to do this on the older computer
first then transfer the file to the new iMac .
