If I buy the Apple app. Numbers, will I then be able to open my spreadsheet documents marked cwk?

Many of my old documents were written on older systems which now won't open in Lion.  Word processed docs will open with Pages, and I wonder whether I will be able to open old spreadsheets if I buy the Numbers app without loss of layout, etc.

Numbers '09 can open AppleWorks spreadsheets created with AppleWorks 6. It cannot open files created with earlier versions of AppleWorks (or ClarisWorks), nor can it open AW 6 files that are not spreadsheets.
Maintenance of layout/format depends on Numbers supporting the same format options as Appleworks. For example, Numbers (and other current Apple applications will not support bold or italic text in fonts that do not include these variations within the font set. AppleWorks (and other applications of that generation would also construct representation of bold and italic typefaces using added width or a slant to characters in the Regular font set.

Barry
