When I install to my Windows XP computer ClarisWorks 3.0 (even with the
setting "do not install fonts"), which is meant for Windows 3.11, the
fonts in other Windows programs look strange and after the installation
my system works slower. Is there a way to install the working versions
of the corrupted fonts and make my system work faster or should I
simply convert my old *.cwk files created in years 1995-2006 for
example to Open Document format, so I can open them for example with
Word and OpenOffice.org?

The latter if you are able to convert the *.cwk files to some format
readable by a modern word processing program.

Looks like converting my files to Word 6 format with ClarisWorks is my
best option even though the pictures in the documents are not exported.
If I try to copy & paste the contents from the ClarisWorks documents,
the text styles are not copied.

In case someone might be interested, here's an example ClarisWorks
document:
