[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1629547"] AppleWorks was discontinued 10 years ago. I don't want to add to your frustration, but you really should have changed those documents over a long, long time ago. Luckily, the previous-to-current version of Pages (which I would guess you have on your MacBook Pro) should be able to read those AppleWorks files. Otherwise, you're going to have to figure out a way to open the documents on one of your two copies of AppleWorks and save them to a standard format like Word or RTF or txt. Once that's done, you can move them anywhere using a thumb drive or cloud storage of whatever you're comfortable with. I just tested this with some old .cwk files and Pages '09 (v4.3), which still runs in Yosemite. Worked perfectly for text files. [/QUOTE]
