Hello. New to Daniweb. Having recently upgraded my software (now running on Mac OSX version 10.3.9) I can't access certain files on Appleworks. I keep geting the message 'The Translator could not read this file'. Can anyone here offer me any help on this matter? (as I can't afford another £30 phone call to the mac helpline!!!!!!!!!)

I was under the impression that you upgraded from 9 to X.... was not clear that Appleworks has never opened these files for you yet.
What kinds of files are you trying to work with? Are we looking at MS Works documents? WordPerfect? CAD documents?
Thanks,
