Hi. I am trying to help my father who has Appleworks 6.2.9.
Because I am on another island, I cannot access his computer directly. I'd really appreciate it if I was given some advice. The problem is that Appleworks does not save; it always goes to the save as dialogue box. In choosing the same document, it asks to replace it and quits. Also, the last time it both quit and deleted the document. What can be done? Thanks.

You should try the standard troubleshooting suggestions:

In particular, be sure to try logging in as a different user to see if the problem exists there. (Create a new user via the Accounts preference panel if you only have the one user account so far.)
