Bill, Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can read most documents created in Microsoft Works in the applications found in Microsoft Office. I have even successfully saved some that were created in Works in both the Office format and in just plain Word. Of course, my computer isn't the most up to date, so maybe that is why??? Anyway Bill, I think it is a wonderful idea to have the CD's available through the historical society. I also applaud your body of work and your wonderful attention to detail. It is invaluable! Thanks so much, Iris F. Reily

From MS Excel Help file from Office XP (the latest version)" "Excel 2000 or later versions cannot directly open files created in Microsoft Works version 3.0 or later. To open a Works file in Excel, first open it in Works and use the Save As command to convert it to one of the file formats listed below. Then close the Works file and open the converted version in Excel. Works for Windows 2.0/Works for DOS SS Excel SS Lotus 1-2-3 To open a Microsoft Works database file in Excel, first save the file in Microsoft Works as a dBASE file, and then open the dBASE file in Excel." Can't find any information about reading Works files with MS Word.... Peace, Part of the Tree, Greg --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
