Hi there ..... welcome to TSG.

I know that you can convert Appleworks to Word on a Mac (and then open the Word file in Windows), but if you are creating a document that sounds more like a CAD file, I'm not sure if Word would help.

Anyone else have an idea?

It would be helpful if he told us what application he was using.

What mode of Appleworks are you using?

Mac AW -> NeoOffice -> PC App?

From http://neowiki.sixthcrusade.com/inde...orks_documents

NeoOffice supports vector PICT files and can edit them in NeoDraw just like any other vector graphics format; unfortunately, recent versions of AppleWorks no longer export vector PICT files and instead only offer bitmap export, both via save and copy-and-paste. If you need your drawings to be editable, your only option is to save the drawing as a ClarisWorks 4 file and save the file as a PICT from ClarisWorks 4. Be sure to give the final file the .pct extension, since the graphics import filters in OpenOffice.org (and thus NeoOffice) do not have "extended type detection" and instead rely solely on the file's extension.

NeoOffice can export to PC.
