At last night's LCS meeting I posed a couple of questions about Appleworks:

1) would Appleworks continue to work in future versions of the OS - the
answers ranged from I don't know to probably not.

2) I then asked if iWorks Numbers would import Appleworks spread sheet
(and I don't remember the answer)


So this morning I opened one of my Appleworks spreadsheets with lots of
formulas (especially if-then formulas)

I saved it as an EXCEL Mac 98, 2001, X, 2004 Spr. (you have to add .xls
at the end of the file name)

I was able to open the file in Microsoft excel for the Mac but some of
the values didn't register (all though all my totals were correct)

Next I drug the .xls spreadsheet into NEO Office and voila, everything
works exceedingly well!

So I am in the process of moving all my Appleworks Spreadsheets to Neo
Office (which, btw, is a free program).
