Need Help converting ClarisWorks file

Not sure whats the best section to post this so please move if there is a better section.

I had a client give me several .cwk files that contain logos/flyers and such but I only own a pc and cannot find anything that can properly open these files.

I searched and found a converter with a free trial but it stated it couldnot convert it because it was a drawing ( as opposed to text i think ).

If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated. ( perhaps i can even send someone the files and they can extract the images and send them to me as psd or even jpg )

Thanks

    Why not just ask a Mac user to open them for you and convert them into a file format you CAN use and then send them back to you? That's probably the easiest way to do it.

    I found this one but never tried it myself - free download so should be worth a shot:

      Thanks, I will try that one. (EDIT: couldnt get that to even open, was a .dmg file? )And I wish I knew a Mac user. Thats what i was hoping to accomplish with this thread.

    ClarisWorks is ANCIENT.

    You're going to need a Mac user with a REALLY OLD MAC in order to convert it properly, methinks.

    If you want, shoot me a file and I'll try and convert it with Pages. Maybe Apple built a file converter in (but I don't hold out much hope).

    Alternatively, ask the client to "print" the files to PDF instead and work from there.

    No luck on the .CWK into Pages, or Keynote, dude.

    Because it's a drawing document, neither app will open it.

    Sorry. I'm out of tricks for you.
