Tech Tips: The End of Appleworks
by FWP Tech
This message is for all of the school's Appleworks users.
As you probably know, Appleworks is one of the oldest pieces of software still in use at the school. Apple officially ended support of the product in 2007 and has not released any sort of software update since 2004. We have been lucky the past few years that the software has continued to work with each new version of the Mac operating system. Unfortunately it looks like that luck has just run out.
Through our testing of new software that will be implemented this summer, it has come to our attention that Appleworks will not work with version 10.6 of the Mac operating system that we will be upgrading to for the next school year.
I wanted to send this note out early enough so that we can assist anyone who might need help transitioning your documents away from Appleworks. We are happy to plan a time with anyone interested in a few Appleworks alternatives, including Microsoft Word, Pages or Google Docs.
