ClarisWorks: Can‘t Open Microsoft Works Stationery Files
This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
This is corrected in 1.0v3.
ClarisWorks 1.0v2 and earlier are unable to open files that are saved from Microsoft Works in Stationery format. To open these files, open them in Works and then save them in normal format which ClarisWorks will read.
