Thanks SO much for your suggestions. I’m really grateful that you’ve taken the time to consider this.
Quick question: when you suggest importing into Libreoffice, does that mean it can import the .cwk files directly into LibreOffice? Or would I simply copy and paste the text?
Somebody asked what my key value if for Clarisworks—definitely *outlining*. I never used Clarisworks for anything but that.
One thing I particularly appreciated about Clarisworks was the fact that I could make the indents and the margins as small as possible and save that as a stationery document to use over and over again as a blank document. That meant I could pack the maximum number of characters into each line, even with several “generations of children”. I named stationery file TWILI (the way I like it) and opened all new documents from that stationery document. It would be wonderful to find something that would have that flexibility.
Thanks for your comments about longevity of software. Saving documents in a file format that is widely used would of course make a difference in that regard.
I will try out your suggestions. If I have questions, I may well come back to this forum. I really appreciate your help!
