ClarisWorks 4.0 includes an AppleScript application to automatically convert documents to ClarisWorks 4.0 format. The application is called "Convert Documents" and is located in the ClarisWorks Scripts folder, inside the ClarisWorks 4.0 folder.
Convert Documents will convert any document type that can be opened by ClarisWorks 4.0, including ClarisWorks 2.0 / 3.0 documents.
To convert all your old documents to ClarisWorks 4.0:
1- Place all your old documents into a folder
2- Launch ClarisWorks 4.0
3- If necessary, Click Cancel. Select Preferences from the Edit menu.
4- Click the General icon. Uncheck the checkboxes for "Old Version Alert" and, optionally, "[v4.0 suffix]". Click the Make Default button.
5- In the Finder, drag the folder icon containing your documents onto the Convert Documents icon. Your documents will be opened, converted and saved automatically. The names of the converted files will end in ".cwk"
TIP: change the folder view to View by Date. All the new converted documents will be listed first, so you can easily select them all and drag them to the desired folder in which you want to store the files.
