Leopard and AppleWorks![[ozcan]](/webx/?30@@1) ozcan (apparently) - 08:10am Nov 1, 2007 PSTvia emailCan anyone advise if Appleworks still operates after Leopard is
installed, please?
I'm aware that:
* Appleworks is no longer supported;
* There are some issues with AW and Tiger, which are now resolved;
* I will, reluctantly, have to drop AW in 2009... .
With 800+ newsletters I use for templates, I still need AW for
another fifteen months, so I've put off installing Leopard until
there's some reassurance that AW will be OK.
Any advice would be much appreciated, please.
Paul,

It depends what you mean "operates". It works fine for me, in that it starts
right up and lets me create, edit, and save a new document; but my demands
are not very heavy. m.

It works for me on both iMac G5 and G4.
But note that Numbers cannot yet replace all AppleWorks spreadsheets.
Please complain to Apple.

Paul
I am not a heavy user of Appleworks but so far no problems with a
database I have been using about ten years.

Seems to work fine. That is to say, it launches, creates a new word
processing document, and lets me type a bunch of random characters
into it. More extensive testing I didn't do.

Not sure what "unsupported" means. On a brief check, all file types
open from the templates, it still goes onto the web to find templates,
and it seems to save OK. That was with a 5 minutes test, so your
milage may vary and there may be quirks in it I'm not able to find on
my tests.
