(Probably the highest-versioned software I own.) This wunderkind, and its Windows equivalent, Conversions Plus ($49.99), can convert dozens of file types from one format to another, on the same platform or cross-platform.įigure 2. Instead of calling my client to ask her to save the spreadsheet out to a tab-delimited text file, I simply converted it to an Excel file in a flat minute with my trusty MacLinkPlus Deluxe ($79.99) software from DataViz, which is now on version 16.

Remember that Quatro Pro (DOS) file I mentioned? I needed to get data out of it to include in a chart, but I didn’t have a PC running DOS, let alone Quatro Pro. Here are some trusted conversion tools I’ve come to rely upon to get me out of just about any file format jam. Ack! What the heck is a CWK file?Īs a business owner, I want to make it as easy as possible for clients to work with me, but I can’t go broke buying every application under the sun just to open their occasional weirdo file. My ever-lovin’ clients blithely send me files created in the dawn of time (WQ1, which is Quatro Pro DOS), files from a program they’ve upgraded to and so assume everyone else has too (DOCX, the new Microsoft Word format), and every format in between, from WS4 (WordStar) to CDR (CorelDraw) to PUB (Microsoft Publisher) - all without a thought that I may not be able to do anything with them.įigure 1. In their sweet naiveté, they assume that if you have a computer, you can open any computer file, period. Most clients don’t need to be as computer-savvy as we do it’s just a peripheral tool to them. To me, the real challenge for designers is dealing with the hundreds of other file formats out there, the ones clients occasionally ask you to pull content from. Luckily, most layout programs (Web, print, or presentation) can import a wide variety of graphics file formats and if they can’t, a quick trip to an image converter utility (or in and out of Photoshop, Illustrator, or CorelDRAW) will spit out a version in an appropriate format.

Your clients and vendors assume you know the limitations and appropriate use of all the image file types: JPEG, TIFF, PSD, AI, EPS, GIF, PNG, DNG, BMP… Tell me, did you take that class at Design School U? There is a detailed article on 'Abandoning AppleWorks' here:I bet they forgot to tell you in design school that you need to become an expert in computer file formats to survive, let alone succeed, in our field.Ĭonsider graphic file formats. You can then run AppleWorks as an emergency measure. I haven't tried either method: use at your own discretion.

If you have upgraded to Lion/Mountain Lion and have AppleWorks documents you cannot open, then you should be able to install Snow Leopard on an external hard disk and start from that ( provided that the Mac did not come with anything higher than Snow Leopard originally installed) and success has been reported in running Snow Leopard under emulation in Parallels - the method is described here: it seems complex however Snow Leopard Server is available in the Apple Store (by telephone) at a reduced price (at the time of writing) and this makes the process a lot easier.

Nothing will open Paint or Database documents.

Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.

Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.

However Draw documents can be copied into WP documents and then opened in Pages - more details here.

Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings).

Word Processing documents can be opened directly in Pages (AppleWorks 6 only), though Panergy Software's docXConverter v3.2 ($19.95) can convert Appleworks 5 and 6 Word Processing documents to RTF (though it has been reported that it can only handle documents which contain only text, not those which include images or frames) and the latest version of the free LibreOffice has announced that it can open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents: it does appear to be able to handle at least some embedded images.
