Opening a .cwk document?

knightstyle

Hi, I need to open a document sent from an old Mac in .cwk
I have a Macbook 10.6.5 and would like a "free' way to open it.
Have been told on another site to buy iWork pages but as I probably won't need it again am reluctant to do this.

Try google - I got this:

I read on an Apple site that in order to "read" a .cwk document file on a
PC, you must......

"Want to share your AppleWorks document with the world and have them see
it just as you intended? Or for them to view it without changing the file?
Thanks to the advanced Quartz graphics system in Mac OS X, simply save the
print preview and you automatically create a document in PDF format. Then
anyone with Adobe Acrobat Reader - or Mac OS X - can view what you made."

Hope this helps.....

or try something like this:

I don't think the latest iWorks supports the old claris works documents anymore. Last time I had to open one I had to find an old version of AppleWorks or Claris Works that ran under OS X that still supported them. I believe I used AppleWorks 6.
