Exporting From Appleworks

[In Utopia]

Is is possible to export a database from Appleworks to a readable sortable file that MS Word or Excel will recognize?
I find nothing telling me how to do it (if possible) in their help section.

Open the database in AppleWorks & go to File > Save As > File Format > ASCII text. You need to add the .txt extension to the file name as AppleWorks won't do it for you. If you get an error, just choose add/use both & then change it in Finder. This will give you a tab-delimited file that almost any spreadsheet or word processor can open.

Thanks, it worked.
At least now it looks like I can do some sorting by name etc.
