1. Open the CWK file in a copy of AppleWorks, if you still have access to that application. AppleWorks included multiple types of documents under this format, including word processing, database and spreadsheet. This is the best way to determine what data is included in the file. AppleWorks can be copied or installed to newer Macs without difficulty. It will run as a 'Rosetta' application on Intel Macintoshes.
2. Save the file as a Word .doc or Excel .xls file, Rich Text Format (RTF), or as plain text, any of which can be opened in Office.
3. Open the file in iWork if possible. iWork can natively understand some AppleWorks file formats. If you do not have a copy of iWork, download the trial version. Again, save the file as a Word .doc file or Excel .xls file, Rich Text Format (RTF), or as plain text to open the file in Office.

If you bought your Mac in the last year or two, don't bother buying this software. But if you have an older Mac you.may. be able to use it. Case in point: I have a Mac Pro which can't run Appleworks. It's an older Mac Pro, circa 2009, using the Snow Leopard operating system. For a spreadsheet you can export from AppleWorks to an excel document, or a comma delimited file, which Numbers will be able to open. In AppleWorks open the document to be transferred to the newer software, and click File - Save As. For text try RTF or Word, depending on you version of AppleWorks. For spreadsheet try Excel or CVS. To convert AppleWorks drawing documents to Pages documents (a little more involved): 1. Open the AppleWorks drawing document you want to convert. From the Edit menu, choose Select All. From the Edit menu, choose Copy. Now, still in AppleWorks, open a new word processing document. Set the margins, Page Setup and number of pages in.
