Jenny, Whilst agreeing with the above, IIRC one could use the Word Processing aspect of Works using "Import" to get the rtf in and then edit the text. I abandoned Works a long time ago but I am pretty sure that, like Word Pad, it will not import the pictures and they will need to be entered again. One may also corrupt the Index, which I suspect Works cannot correct.
