[G4] Still using OS 9.1 on my G4-400 mhz.

[Wayne Clodfelter]

Nothing to lose by trying it. Assuming MS Works 3.0 opens in the  
Classic environment, you can try cutting and pasting directly.
Failing that, try cutting and pasting into a Carbon text based app  
(wp or db, etc) that should open in both 9.1 and 10.x systems.
Thirdly, you can try saving the text as a text clipping, and then  
retrieving the text from the clipping (several free text clipping  
managers available) and pasting into the OS 9.1 doc.

Having said that, I see no reason you shouldn't be happier using any  
number of OS X wps or dbs that are free or very reasonably priced.
