= SUMMARY =

The AppleWorks to Microsoft Works Transporter (Works-to-Works Transporter) works with AppleWorks versions 3.0 and earlier, but it does not work with the new AppleWorks GS. AppleWorks GS is written by Styleware. AppleWorks versions 2.0 and earlier are marketed by Claris.

To import information into Microsoft Works on the Macintosh, save the AppleWorks GS file as an ASCII document and use Apple File Exchange to convert the document. Do not use the Works-to-Works Transporter.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If you have a removable 3.5-inch disk drive, remove the disk drive and plug it into your Macintosh through the external disk drive slot in the back of your Macintosh. To convert the document, do the following:


 * 1) Restart the Macintosh.
 * 2) Run Apple File Exchange.
 * 3) Access the external drive by clicking the Drive button.
 * 4) Use Apple File Exchange to translate files.
