I put my appleworks in the trash and reinstalled, but it is the same.
What should I try now?

Two possibilities come to mind & reinstalling AppleWorks wouldn't "fix" either.
First, check for lots of aliases in your hard drive > Users > [your user name] > Documents > AppleWorks User Data > Starting Points > Recent Items. There also can be aliases in hard drive > Users > [your user name] > Documents > AppleWorks User Data > AutoSave. Also, hard drive > Users > [your user name] > Documents > AppleWorks User Data > Starting Points > Cache. Move all three of these folders (in bold) to the Trash, empty the Trash & restart AppleWorks.
If it still won't open, you need to delete the AppleWorks preferences. In OS X you want to move the AppleWorks preferences found in HD/Users/username/Library/Preferences/AppleWorks & the com.apple.appleworks.plist found in ~/Preferences/ to the Trash, then empty the Trash & restart AppleWorks. In OS 8-9, the preference files to Trash are found in HD/System Folder/Preferences/AppleWorks. Then empty the Trash & restart AppleWorks.
