I first updated the system 10 version and then the system 9 vesrion on a different partion on the Power Book drive. Apple works is the only app in the system 9 partion.
It's the program of choice, I really wish Apple would make it more powerfull as I hate even having Office on my Computer, but there are some cases where only MS will open a certain document. Appleworks will do about 80% of what needs to be done. For Data Base I like Filemaker and wish Apple had not split his off.
If your having problems with the updater not finding Appleworks make sure you downloaded the US Canadian Version not the English International version a easy late night mistake. Again the beauty of Appleworks I messed uo, it uninstalled the English International version. I reloaded my original disk and got the right updater and everything just worked.

Have you tried Nisus Writer Express, a Cocoa app ? Nisus open all those darned dotDoc attachments, I even forget I am in Word - I'm not, I'm in NWEx.
We cannot get the v.629 AppleWorks in England, not so sad - NWEx is streets ahead in Panther.
Pity about my old ApplewWorks files.

ps Outside-USA suffers again. I did write to Apple Feedback. Why USA only?
pps I really must tell David Pogue ;-)

Does it have limitations - most certainly. It is not as full featured as its more expensive cousins. Its database is flat file only, limited in size by memory and not easily scriptable. It does not support plugins for graphics. It is not always easy to move data between Appleworks and some of the other popular, more expensive products.
Nevertheless it can be an inexpensive simple elegant solution for a multitude of tasks and and ideal resource for those with a limited budget, limited time to learn complex products, or both.
I always keep it around and it has bailed me out of many a difficult situation where I did not have the correct tool or nothing else has worked.
