This is from the Appleworks site:

AppleWorks 6.2.9 can read and write to files created with Microsoft Word
2001 and Microsoft Excel 2001 software (or earlier versions). Microsoft Word
and Excel compatibility provided by MacLinkPlus, a product of DataViz, Inc.
at www.dataviz.com.

That infers to me that it is appleworks/MacLinkPlus that provides the
ability to work in Word. SO the answer is that without a MAC, no.
