Many of my students bring disks to school with files from their PCs; the only ones that Appleworks won't open are also rejected by Word. The trick is in selecting Appleworks to open them. I sometimes have to play around with the defaults--changing "recommended apps" to "show all applications" and then choosing Appleworks, for instance.
