Along with Steve's excellent advice about converting them; at least for the spreadsheet files it will depend on the version of Works that you had. Later versions of Microsoft Works saved spreadsheets in a modified Excel (.xls) format with the extension of I believe .xlr. If the spreadsheets have that extension then AOO should open them with no problem. If they are in the old format and for the Word Processing documents I am afraid Steve's advice is the best that can be given.
