Harry,

I too would be interested in the answers to your 4 questions.

I must have missed the actual reply to those.

Could you forward?

Thanks!
Ann

Anne,

I have tried. AW 6 files can be converted as long as they are not drawing files. AW5 files have to be converted to AW6 first.

Harry,

I have been told but haven't tried it yet, that AppleWorks files can be converted to Pages under Lion. Try dragging an AW word processing file onto the Pages icon and see if that works. I'm hoping it will when I get around to switching to Lion later this year.

This spring I installed Lion on my 5 year old MacBook Pro. Lion does not run appleworks. I find I have a lot of appleworks files that need to be converted to pages or pdfs. I have an unused firewire 80gb lacie drive which I want to partition and use one partition as an external startup drive with Mac OS 10.6. I can then, at my leisure, startup from the external drive, and convert my files.

Four questions:

1) when I go to format and partition the drive I am presented with 4 Mac choices
        a) Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
        b) Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted)
        c) Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
        d) Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled, Encrypted)

        Which choice do I want?

2) what do all the choice mean?

3) How big should the partition be?

4) Could I also use a usb 2.0 drive to do this?


TIA
