I get email attachments which contain cwk files from an older Macintosh
computer. Is there a way I can convert these files to Word?

In Word 2002 and 2003, you can try opening the .cwk file using
the "Recover text from any file" file type in Word's File->Open
dialog. This sometimes retrieves the text from a .cwk file, but
will remove all formatting. Alternatively, ask the sender to
convert the .cwk file to a rich text format (.rtf) file and send
you that instead.
