When I updated to Big Sur, my Appleworks documents no longer will open. I had been using LibreOffice with success. That no longer works. Is there another program that will open up these old word processing documents. The new Pages won't.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2
What version of LibreOffice are you using? I had no problems opening a couple of AppleWorks files, a word processing document & a spreadsheet with LibreOffice v6.3.6002.
Perhaps you have an older version that needs updating. I suggest downloading LibreOffice 7.0.4 & trying again.
I'm not sure what version of AppleWorks last saved those particular documents. To check, I opened the files in AppleWorks 6 on a Mac mini running Snow Leopard/ I believe the WP was an AW5 document as AW6 asked to save changes when I closed it.

Thanks--that really helped.
