[HM] Converting docs from Claris 2.0 > AppleWorks

[TeeGate]

If the files in 2.0 that you have are just text, or possibly a few other 
formats, you could open them in 2.0 and save them as text files. At that 
point AppleWorks will open them just fine. You then have the choice of 
leaving them as text or saving them again in AppleWorks. Some of the 
formating may change so you might have to do some altering of that. And 
if you have a large amount of them it will take some time.

The advantage of this choice is you can try that right now and in the 
event it does not work you can continue your search for 4.0.
