converting mac .cwk files to .doc

Does anyone know of a good way to convert a cwk file to a doc file? we have some files on an old mac that we need to convert. i've tried a couple of conversion tools, but nothing seems to work as far as the format goes - when converted, its off a bit. looking for something that may be able to do them in batches as well, being that we have about 500 cwk files needing to be converted - any help would be appreciated!

The .CWK file extension is for ClarisWorks / Appleworks which has long long been discontinued.

If you can recover any data from these files you're doing well and I'd not expect to get 100% accurate reproduction of the originals using any solution.

I understand that LibreOffice can open CWK files

What program are you using to convert/open the files?  Apple Pages should also be able to open SOME cwk files if they are from v6
This apple support discussion covers a partial batch solution (simply opening them in batches and save as pages documents
