AppleWorks is ancient history. It was ancient history in 2002 when it was renamed AppleWorks from ClarisWorks. It never exported Word .DOC files very well, but it could output usable .RTF files. I wouldn't recommend using AppleWorks at all on Mac OS X v10.6 "Snow Leopard" ... It was buggy even half a decade ago. I converted all my ClarisWorks/AppleWorks word processing documents to .RTF and imported them into Pages, then output them as Pages documents. Only a few documents created with mixed module combinations (CW/AW word-paint-vector graphics) caused me any grief ... and none of those were needed in an editable form, so I just output them as PDFs and tossed the originals. I detest Office. I'll use it when needed ... I have an alternative boot disk that I can run it from if it's absolutely necessary ... but it's so buggy and loads so much crap onto a system that unless I was dependent on it I'd rather not have it installed. I have no need of Word ... PowerPoint, Excel, or Entourage neither ... so why should I waste the disk space on this crap? -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
