I am not familiar with MS Works format, if Aoo does not support that format, recommending a 'libre' app that does is an answer to a question asked. Another case in point, AOO does not support legacy WordPerfect file fornat, it is a licensing issue. Libreoffice does...it is wrong, imho, to not relay such info to users. There is alot of archived data in WP format, it pre-dates AOO & LO... I am not acoounting for Star Office. It may bre more palatable to elucidate on why someone is sugesting LO, it needs not be percieved as a criticism of AOO. Finally, archiving data often means archiving the , hardware/software that produced the data. Virtualiztion is a good tool for this. ...
