Default saving in .mcw format in Word 2007

Apparently MacWrite hasn't been produced since 1994. Surely you should have
been able to find enough time in the past 18 years to convert them to a
newer format. If not, you may have to find someone with Word XP and ask them
to do it for you.

Did you try opening them in Word after telling it to recover the text from
any file? You'll lose the format but you may be able to save the text. I say
may because I have never tried to open one of those files.

Word 2002 was able to save documents in a Macintosh format using an .mcw
extension. I don't find that capability in Word 2007, and the online
"help"
doesn't offer much about file converters.
