Will Writer open old Mac .cwk documents

Updated to a new Macbook which uses Pages documents and it won`t open old documents.

Hello @,

My LibreOffice version 5.4.2.2 has import filters for the following 5 file types that all share the “.cwk” file extension:

FILE TYPE ( UINAME )				FILTER				OPENED BY
ClarisResolve Document				calc_Claris_Resolve		Calc
ClarisWorks/AppleWorks Spreadsheet	calc_ClarisWorks		Calc
ClarisWorks/AppleWorks Drawing		draw_ClarisWorks		Draw
ClarisWorks/AppleWorks Presentation	impress_ClarisWorks 	Impress
ClarisWorks/AppleWorks Text Document	writer_ClarisWorks		Writer

Only the latter type shall be opened by Writer.

HTH, lib

Also see Converting Writer files to Draw files, which mentions that “ClarisWorks/AppleWorks draw files are converted as text document”, and @librebel’s advise to workaround that.
