Hello,
when you have opened the AppleWorks’s file, this file has been converted(1). To close a window, you can either click on red icon in the windows bar (top left) or choose Close in the File menu(2) ; in both case, if you have done some edition it will ask you if you want to save the file, cancel or discard your changes…
(1) therefore, if you want to keep your change, you must save it as a new file.
(2) if you are in fullscreen mode, you must type “escape” to go back in normal mode
