Alas, you can't.
You can open nearly all of them. Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents but not AppleWorks 5 ones.
Word Processing documents can be opened directly only in Pages.
Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings). (It's possible to copy Draw documents into a Word Processing document in order to open them in Pages, but you need AppleWorks to do this in the first place.)
Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
Nothing will open AppleWorks databases or Paint documents: the only way to access them is to open them in AppleWorks and export.
This seven-page article examines migrating from AppleWorks in some detail:

  • I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • How can I open old cwk files using OS X 10.8.4?

    I have tried to open old cwk files using Pages, using Numbers and using Keynote as well as trying to open them with Word or even OpenOffice.  However, the most I can get is what looks like gibberish.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Don't know if you found a solution to your cwk File problem but I had the same problem and solved it by downloading this program and was able to open my old cwk files.
    libreoffice That will oppen old cwk files and its free (by donation)

  • How can I open my cwk files?

    Since Appleworks 6 doesn't exist anymore I have tons of files that cannot be opened. What can I do?

    You will get better answers on a generic Apple forum, but I would wager a guess and say to simply write them off. Unless youi can get an old Mac or an emulator that would be able to run an old AppleWorks and open the files to export them to whatever format, this is simply a no go...

    Since I have an iMac I do not have any of the PC software you told me to use.
    Niel was correct in his answer……I have opened it in Google Docs
    Hey there Genius... Tim was correct as well. MS makes a Mac version of Office.  Before you criticize someone, be sure you know what you're talking about, otherwise you look like a complete fool.

  • How do I open older appleworks files on my new iMac?

    I cannot open cwk documents created on an emac running 10.3. I now have an iMac, power PC G5 running 10.4.11. I have installed Appleworks 6.2.9 and can create and open documents that have been created with it. I cannot open any documents created on the old computer. I keep getting an i/o error occurred message when I double click on the icon. I have tried opening a new document and inserting the old, but nothing happens. I have downloaded the appleworks file repair utility and dragged the files into that, but still nothing. Help!

    You hit widely described features.
    AppleWoks 629 is unable to open a lot of old files.
    If you had take care of the description of the tool, you wouldn't have lost time with "Appleworks file repair utility" which is perfectly described as a tool designed to repair files corrupted by a specific network configuration. Nothing common which a single user system.
    To solve your problem, two tracks available:
    (a) run AppleWorks under Classic. Doing that it's in fact AppleWorks 628 which will run and it is able to open oldies.
    (b) get an older version of the program, 624 or 627 which are able to do the job.
    Open the files then save them in the "new" format. When it will be done you will be able to use them with 629.

  • How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?

    How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?
    I have several files that has been saved in a cc2014 version and I can't open them in my CS6 version of Indesign.
    I don t have access to anyone who have the cc 2014 version to convert the file.
    How can I do it from my cs6 version?
    THANKS!

    You can't do it from CS6.
    You have to export to IDML from InDesign CC2014 (or whatever the version it was created in) and then open the IDML in the earlier versoin of InDesign.
    All explained in the FAQ on the main forum page.

  • I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files?

    I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!

    What version of Photoshop are you running?  You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014.  Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
    If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4.

  • How can I open the windows file directory in "WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED" trigger

    Dear All,
    How can I open the windows file directory in “WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED” trigger?

    Blessan Joseph,
    The solution is dependent on your Forms version and if your applications is traditional Client/Server (CS) (Forms 6i and lower) or web deployed (Forms 6i and higher). For CS, you would use the Get_File_Name() built-in as Faa demonstrated. For Web, you will need to use the WebUtil library function Client_Get_File_Name() as Sarah (OGIR) demonstrated. Both of these functions will return the full path to a file. Note: WebUtil is an external library so it requires you to perform some configuration on your developer client as well as on the Application Server. WebUtil is included with Forms 9i and higher, but you must download it for Forms 6i.
    My requirement is user should able to select windows directory for the output.Do you really need to allow the user to write to a file in the Windows directory? This is very dangerous and you should not allow users or programs to write to the Windows directory. Users should only be able to write files to "User" directories (\My Documents\<Directory name>).
