A colleague recently asked for assistance with opening a particular document, which was created using Microsoft Works. Microsoft Works had a long run as a lower-cost alternative to Microsoft’s Office for Microsoft Windows and MS-DOS, and was available in one version or another for about twenty years between 1988 and 2008. As a consequence, a number of older PCs still have it installed and Mac users will occasionally receive Works documents. Unfortunately, Microsoft Works was not ported to the Mac so it can be difficult to open these files.

Project Viewer 365 allows you to view Microsoft Project files on your Mac for free. The nice thing about Project Viewer 365 is that it can open files directly from several different sources including from a URL, GoogleDrive, Dropbox, SkyDrive, Sharepoint and Mail attachments. Nov 17, 2017  As Microsoft Project app is not available in Mac, we cannot open a project file in mac even if we have the license. Thanks for your understanding.

From File Explorer, open the USB flash drive, then open Setup or setup.exe, which is in the WindowsSupport folder or BootCamp folder. When you're asked to allow Boot Camp to make changes to your device, click Yes.

After talking with my colleague and researching this issue, I found two ways (one is free, the other is using a paid application) to open Microsoft Works files. For more details, see below the jump.

1. Feb 15, 2006  Question: Q: Opening Microsoft Publisher file in Mac. Does anyone know of a way to open a Publisher file on a Mac. My son started a school project in publisher - he needs to complete the project now as a home assignment. I guess they think everyone works with windows - Ha.

5. ProjectLibre has a lengthy list of Fortune 500, Government, small business and non-profits utilizing our comprehensive project management features.
