I have some documents created on AppleWorks in 2004-05 that I cannot open. Keynote tries to open them and I get the message
"Import Error... AppleWorks document (gives name.cwk) is not a presentation."
What gives? These are genealogy records that I thought would be here forever and I have much time and energy invested. What can I do, if anything?
Thanks,
