Well, I'm pretty sure, from memory, that Works will save in RTF format. Word 4 on the Mac can read RTF format, it is likely that Word on PC does also.

If there is no opportunity to go back and re-save the Works file in an alternate file then I think it's hopeless. Unless there is a Works for the PC.

While we're at it, programs like MacLink PC Plus which have lots of translators probably have one for Mac Works to PC Word.
