ARRRGH!  NOOOOoooo!  You work for  Microsoft?!?  :-O
Do *THIS*...
 
Find a friend who owns MS-Works v2.0, which is where they supply a
unique AFE driver that, scarily enough, translates from AppleWorks
files to Microsoft Works.  Then, after your friend has it loaded
into MS-Works successfully, you can port it to any multitude of
other formats for other programs.
 
The driver that they give you also converts the formulas to make
sure that they are compatible.
