Converting Appleworks files to Word

[GeorgeM]

I have a number of Appleworks files I'd like to convert
to Word for use on a PC. I assume I can buy Word for Mac
and convert that way, but I'd rather not spend $150 for
software I'm probably only going to use very briefly. Is
there another way to do this?

Thanks,
G

Since it sounds like you still have the Mac, you can Save As RTF while in
Appleworks. Word can open RTF (rich text format) no problem, though you
might lose a few appleworks-only features, assuming some exist.

If you have a lot of files, presumably you could write an applescript to
help.
