SUMMARY

The following information describes how to transfer files from AppleWorks versions 2.0 and 3.0 to Microsoft Works version 2.0 for the Macintosh using Apple File Exchange (AFE) and version 2.0 of the Works- to-Works Transporter.

= MORE INFORMATION =

  Use normal procedures to save the AppleWorks files onto a ProDOS formatted 3.5-inch disk.   On the Macintosh, make sure the “Works-Works Transporter” file is in the same folder as the Apple File Exchange application. If the Macintosh has an Apple IIe card installed, it is necessary to disable the Apple IIe card before running Apple File Exchange.   Start the Apple File Exchange application.   After Apple File Exchange finishes loading, insert the ProDOS disk containing the file(s) to be converted.   Under the ProDOS To Mac menu, choose AppleWorks To Microsoft Works. If this option does not appear in the menu, choose Other Translations and select the AppleWorks To Microsoft Works option.   Use the mouse to select the AppleWorks file(s) to be transferred from the window on the right. </li>  Click the Translate button. A translated version of the AppleWorks file will appear in the window on the left. </li>  Quit Apple File Exchange. </li>  Start the Microsoft Works program on the Macintosh and open the converted file(s). </li></ol>

IMPORTANT: Divide AppleWorks Word Processing files larger than 20K into files of 20K or less.
