Hi,
Looking at this list
<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Article/Filter/
FilterList_OOo_2_1>
it appears that OpenOffice.org will not open either of the file
formats you mention, however it should be possible for you to save
your files into a format readable by OpenOffice.org using the program
in which they were created. Failing that try googling for Appleworks
converter or Quark converter to see if there is some program you can
download to convert the files.
If you have trouble downloading OpenOffice.org then you may want to
consider buying a CD with it on. These tend to be very economical as
the price usually only covers the cost of the CD and postage and will
certainly save you the frustration of trying to download it!
See here: <http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/index.html#cdrom>
Other suggestions I have seen on this list are getting a friend with
broadband to download OpenOffice.org for you and then put it on a
blank CD or a flash drive. Alternatively your local library may have
a broadband connection which would allow you to get the download.
Hope this helps
Tom
PS I found some notes on converting AppleWorks files here <http://

There are also many applications here that may help but the page is a
little... messy. <http://www.macwindows.com/filetran.html>

Hi,
Have iMac OS X version 10.4.7 with 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
processor. Only have dial-up internet in this area. Tried to download
Open Office suite. 7hrs, about 1/4 done got kicked off-line couldn't
resume.
No listing of what word processing software is compatible with Open
Office. Are Quark or AppleWorks importable to Open Office?
Thanks,
