- Yes. Use the 'Open' command under the File menu, and AppleWorks GS
- will load the AppleWorks spreadsheet quite happily, formulas and all.

- :-)
-
-
- You need AppleWorks GS 1.1 (or was it 1.0v2?) to load in AppleWorks
- 3.0 files. AppleWorks GS 1.0 will only load files from AppleWorks 2.1
- and earlier.
-
- A little editing will be required to get something that looks good
- (e.g. text that straddles several columns should be reentered in a
- single cell, and the 'overflow' cells should be cleared.
-
- Note that you can't export AppleWorks GS spreadsheets back to
- AppleWorks 3.0.
-
-
- If you printed the spreadsheet to disk as an ASCII file, you would
- have lost all of the formulas - only the values would be retained.
