How do you open Appleworks documents in Neooffice?

You'll first have to save them in a format that Neo/J understands (either RTF or one of the MS Office formats (Office 6 and above)). Unfortunately the AppleWorks formats are not publicly documented and, in the great ecosystem of file formats, not very common.
At one time one of the AbiWord maintainers was working on a GPL import/export library, but I don't think much progress was ever made....

Too bad. I am not reinstalling it. Love NeoOffice/OpenOffice.

Here's an idea, why don't we ask billy and Mr. J nicely if they will release their secret code?
Oh, what a wonderful world it would be!, but they might not like the hit in the pocketbook, though...
Personally, I love CW-->AW but we just can seem to convince the other 95% of the US and world to use it unfortunately. |

Wow. Gotta love the sarcasm. All I meant was that it wasn't worth it to reinstall Appleworks. And that I am keeping NeoOffice.

Life would be pretty dull without some sarcasm, but in this case I was serious.
AppleWorks is a great program, period. Hopefully iWorks will be too and catch on a whoile lot more.
The problem is that we have been conditioned by the monopoly to think we NEED "bullits" to go with the bullets...
I have both programs installed and use both, AW and Neo/J, that is  |
