[QUOTE="Scott Baret, post: 882598, member: 52110"] I'm assuming you are referring to Works 3 for Macintosh and not Windows. Works 3 can export to a bunch of different file formats but be warned that the versions of Word and Excel it export to are old. I know Word 98 will read a Word 4 file (I believe Works 3 can export to Word 4) but I'm not sure what the current versions can do in terms of reading these old files. RTF is always an option unless you have a lot of formatting in the document. If you have Office 98 on your old Mac you can try saving the files in modern formats (Word 97-2003, Excel 97-2003) and moving them to the other Mac. I don't believe there are any current products that will read a Works 3 file natively so you'll have to do some translation along the way. [/QUOTE]
