Microsoft Works 3.0 and 4.0
To save a Microsoft Works version 3.0 or 4.0 Word Processor document as a text file with hard carriage returns at the end of each line, use the following steps:


 * 1) From the Edit menu, choose Select All, then select Edit Copy.
 * 2) From the File menu, choose New, and create a new Spreadsheet document.
 * 3) From the Edit menu, choose Paste. This pastes the text into the spreadsheet.
 * 4) From the File menu, choose Save As. Select Text as the format, and give the document a name, then click Save.

After following these steps, you have a text file with carriage returns at the end of each line, which can be opened by many other applications.
