- That's exactly what he's trying to avoid doing. To keep the AW formatting
- intact, use Apple File Exchange (comes with your Mac) to copy the AW files
- from a ProDOS 3.5" disk to the Mac. Under the "ProDOS to Mac" menu, make
- sure "AppleWorks to Microsoft Works" is checked. The copied file can then be
- opened from within Microsoft Word, complete with formatting.
