Hi cranheim,

You could try installing your existing copy of Works 6 onto the new PC. If the install succeeds, you should be able to open the various Words files and save them into a format Office can work with (eg: .doc, .rtf for Word; .xls, .wk1 for Excel; .mdb, .dbf for Access). For the most part, it's just a matter of comparing the open/save formats in both applications to see where the formats overlap.

If the install fails, find yourself a friend with an older PC, who'd like to have your copy of Works, which you can give him/her in return for converting your files per the above.
