Getting to Know AppleWorks 6
Use AppleWorks for writing and outlining; creating tables, spreadsheets, and charts; creating
and managing databases; drawing and painting; and creating presentations. You can use it for
everyday personal tasks such as writing a letter or keeping an address list, and for more
complex tasks, such as publishing a newsletter.
Using AppleWorks for all your projects (instead of using a different program for each task)
conserves computer resources such as memory and disk space, makes it convenient to
integrate different types of content, and lets you switch between tasks without opening
several different programs.
New Features in AppleWorks 6
m New presentation document environment for creating, organizing, and setting display
options for slide presentations
m Useful, easily accessible Internet resources
m New, easy table creation in any document type
m Updated user interface, including windows that replace the libraries and the New
Document dialog box; a new Tools window that includes drawing, painting, and frame
tools; and a new window (“Accents”) that combines tools for setting colors and other
attributes (see “Floating Windows” on page 15)
m Many more enhancements, including auto-save, improved mail merge, and improved
spreadsheet functionality

Introduction to the AppleWorks Windows
The picture shown below (a drawing document) highlights the basic features common to all
AppleWorks document types.
Menu bar
Button Bar
Title bar
Document window
Zoom controls
Menu Bar
All features are available through the menu bar. The menus that appear depend on the type
of document you are working in, or the type of item or frame you have selected within the
document. For example, when you work on a drawing document or select a drawn object,
you see the Arrange menu.
Button Bar
The Button Bar gives you quick access to many features, as an alternative to using the menus.
The buttons that appear depend on the type of document or frame you are using.
14
Chapter 2
Title Bar
The title bar displays the title of the document, as well as an abbreviation that indicates the
document type:
m WP (word processing)
m SS (spreadsheet)
m DB (database)
m DR (drawing)
m PT (painting)
m PR (presentation)
Document Window
The document window is where you work on your document. Specific features of this
window vary, depending on the document type in which you are working. (See
“Understanding and Choosing Document Types” on page 18.)
Zoom Controls
The zoom controls allow you to enlarge (zoom in) or reduce (zoom out) your view of a
document.
Floating Windows
In addition to the basic window elements listed previously, there are a number of small,
floating windows that provide convenient access to features.
m Starting Points (replaces the New Document dialog box in earlier versions of AppleWorks
and ClarisWorks): Provides instant access to document types, Assistants, templates,
recently opened files, and Internet content. When a document is not open, Starting Points
appears. You can also open it from the File menu.

m Tools: Contains one panel with frame tools and another with drawing and painting tools.
To create frames, you drag a frame tool to your document. To open the Tools window,
choose Show Tools from the Window menu.
m Accents: Contains tools for customizing graphics, lines, and text by using different colors,
patterns, styles, and more. To open Accents, choose Show Accents from the Window
menu.
16
Chapter 2
m Clippings (replaces the libraries in earlier versions of AppleWorks and ClarisWorks): Gives
you easy access to clip art included in AppleWorks 6, as well as items on the Internet. Use
Clippings to add and organize your own collections of media. The Clippings search
feature helps you find the items you want. To open Clippings, choose Show Clippings
from the File menu.
m Styles: Lets advanced users define and edit styles of text elements, such as headings and
lists. For example, you can select a few lines of text and use the Bullet style to make the
lines of text a bulleted list. To open Styles, choose Show Styles from the Format menu.
Some of these windows automatically appear in certain situations, and some are only
available in specific document types. You can position the floating windows anywhere on the
screen.
For details on moving and resizing floating windows, see “About the AppleWorks Interface” in
the “AppleWorks Basics” section of AppleWorks Help.

Starting a New Project From Scratch
If you are not creating your project from an Assistant or template, you need to open a blank
document in order to start your project.
To open a blank document:
1
Open AppleWorks. (See “Opening AppleWorks” on page 12.)
2
In the Starting Points window, click the Basic tab, and select the type of document you want
to create. (The next section, “Understanding and Choosing Document Types,” helps you
decide which document type to choose.)
Understanding and Choosing Document Types
Because each document type has its own combination of features and menus, when you
create a document from scratch you need to choose the document type that’s best for your
project.
AppleWorks includes six different document types:
m word processing
m spreadsheet
m database
m drawing
m painting
m presentation
Regardless of the document type you work in, it’s easy to combine different kinds of content
within a single document. You can draw in any document type. You can also add “frames” of
different document types to a document. For example, you could add a spreadsheet frame to
a letter. For more information, see “Integrating Different Kinds of Content in a Document
(Frames)” on page 26.
18
Chapter 2
About Word-Processing Documents
Choose the word-processing document type to create projects that contain mostly text, such
as these:
m letters
m reports
m stories
m outlines
A blank word-processing document looks like this:
Menus for word processing
Buttons for common
word-processing tasks
Text ruler controls
AppleWorks gives you flexibility in the way you present what you write. Using multiple
columns, for example, you can create professional-looking catalogs and reports. You can
write well-organized research papers by using AppleWorks to outline your ideas and to add
footnotes or endnotes that number and renumber automatically. You can format documents
in sections (like chapters in a book), each with its own header, footer, column configuration,
and page numbering. You can add tables, graphics, or spreadsheets without leaving the
document.
See these word-processing examples:

About Spreadsheet Documents
Choose the spreadsheet document type for tasks like these:
m organizing numeric information
m making calculations
m developing and tracking budgets
m adding visual aid to reports by creating a chart from a spreadsheet
A spreadsheet organizes text and numbers, and you can set it up to automatically perform
the calculations you need. You can add a headline or pictures, or convert the numbers into
charts to aid comprehension.
A blank spreadsheet document looks like this:
Menus for spreadsheets
Buttons for common
spreadsheet tasks
Entry bar
You need to understand the following basics about using the spreadsheet window:
m Each column is labeled with a letter at the top. Each row is labeled with a number at the
left. The intersection of a row and column is called a cell. Each cell has a unique address,
which consists of the column letter and row number (for example, D3).
m You enter or edit a cell’s contents by selecting the cell and typing in the entry bar. You can
enter or edit text, dates, numbers, or formulas.
m The spreadsheet always has one active cell, which has a darker border. If the active cell
contains a value or is assigned a formula, the value or formula appears in the entry bar at
the top of the spreadsheet.
m Formulas are not actual values like text or numbers. Rather, formulas are specific
instructions that AppleWorks follows to produce a value for a cell. The result of the
formula appears in the spreadsheet cell.
20
Chapter 2
See these spreadsheet examples:
m “Flash Cards (Interactive)” on page 48 (spreadsheet frame)
m “School Report” on page 62 (spreadsheet frame)
For complete instructions on working with spreadsheets, see “Working With Numbers
(Spreadsheet)” in AppleWorks Help.
About Database Documents
Choose the database document type for managing and organizing collections of information.
You can create a database for projects like these:
m address lists
m forms
m student or customer records
m research notes
m recipes
m record of billable hours
A blank database document (in Browse mode) looks like this:
Menus for databases
Buttons for common
database tasks
Side panel includes record book for navigating
through the database and pop-up menus for
managing layouts, searches, and more.
In a database document you can accumulate information, sort it, and print attractive reports.
You can also perform sophisticated searches to find specific data. By using different layouts
(views), you can organize and present the same data in many different ways. You can also
enhance the layout by adding pictures, patterned lines, or other objects to the database.
A popular use of databases is “mail merge,” which allows you to insert information from a
database into another document or frame. For example, you can merge an address database
with a letter to create personally addressed versions of the same letter.
Getting to Know AppleWorks 6
21
See these database examples:
m “Event Tracker” on page 46
m “Mailing Labels” on page 56
m “Postcard” on page 58 (uses mail merge feature)
For complete instructions on working with database documents, see “Organizing
Information (Databases)” in AppleWorks Help.
About Drawing Documents
Choose the drawing document type to create graphics that use shapes, lines, and curves, and
to design pages for projects with interrelated text and graphics, such as these:
m maps
m seating charts
m brochures
m flyers
m newsletters
A blank drawing document looks like this:
Menus for drawing
Buttons for common
drawing tasks
Graphics grid to use as
layout guide
In the drawing environment, you use the Tools and Accents windows to create and modify
objects (such as rectangles, circles, and lines). You can also add clip art, and text,
spreadsheet, and painting frames.
See also “Differences Between Painting and Drawing in AppleWorks” on page 24.
Note: You can draw in any type of document, except for a database document in Browse,
List, or Find mode.

For complete painting instructions, see “Painting and Working With Images” in AppleWorks
Help.
Differences Between Painting and Drawing in AppleWorks
Although they appear similar, the drawing and painting environments are different in the
following ways:
Painting
Drawing
Allows a “free-form” style of creation. You can
create any shape you want by moving the
pointer as you would move a paintbrush.
You can only create and work with the types of
lines or geometric shapes offered by the drawing
tools.
Similar to creating a painting on paper: when
you paint over something, you replace the
part you painted over with the new paint.
Similar to making a collage: every item you add
to the page is an object that you can arrange and
layer with other objects on the page.
For example, when one object in a drawing
overlaps another, the back object remains intact:
the back object can still be selected, moved, or
changed.
After you paint an item, you can select a
specific part of it (as shown in the example
below).
Once you draw an object, you can select the
entire object (as shown in the example below),
but you cannot select a specific part of it.
Drawing is better than painting when
m you want to rearrange layers of objects
m you want to draw shapes, lines, curves, and simple freehand objects
m you want to easily reselect and manipulate objects
m you do not need to use painting-only features, such as blending colors, tinting, and
lightening or darkening
24
Chapter 2
Painting is better than drawing when
m you want to use the painting tools, such as the paintbrush and spray can, in addition to
the drawing tools
m you want to apply special effects to your images, such as blending colors, tinting, and
lightening or darkening
m you want to insert an image and use the painting tools and features to alter it
m you want to create freehand images that are more complex than simple shapes and lines
m you do not need to easily reselect and manipulate items
m you do not need to rearrange layers of items
About Presentation Documents
Choose the presentation document type to create slides to display with a computer or an
overhead projector.
A blank presentation document looks like this:
Menus for presentations
Buttons for common
presentation tasks
Controls window
Use to add and organize
slides and master slides,
and to set slide show
options.
The presentation environment is new in AppleWorks 6. In a presentation document, you can
do everything you can do in a drawing document, and much more, including organizing
slides visually and drafting speaker’s notes. You can hide specific slides so you can use the
same presentation for different audiences, add special slide transitions such as the “fade out”
and “fade in” effect, and include movie or sound files.
Getting to Know AppleWorks 6

See this presentation example:
m “Slide Show” on page 64
For complete instructions on working with presentation documents, see “Creating
Presentations” in AppleWorks Help.
Beyond the Basics
This section introduces you to some popular things you can do with AppleWorks: adding
tables to your documents, integrating different types of content in a document using frames,
determining the way items interact with text, and exchanging documents between different
computers and applications.
Integrating Different Kinds of Content in a Document (Frames)
There are a number of ways to include different kinds of content within your document,
depending on what you want to do. To create paintings, spreadsheets, sections of text, or
tables in a document of a different type, you start by selecting a frame tool and then dragging
in your document to create a frame. For example, to paint in a word-processing document,
you create a painting frame. The frame tools are in the Tools window.
How frames work in a document:
m When you select the frame, the drawing menus appear in the menu bar so you can
manipulate the frame. For example, you can use the Arrange commands to position the
frame on a page.
m When you enter a frame (by double-clicking it), the menus and tools change to those that
you need for working in that type of frame.
Frames are not the only way to integrate different kinds of content. See AppleWorks Help for
details on how to draw in any document type; insert images, documents, and other types of
files; use clip art (and more) from the Clippings window; and insert sounds and movies.
Many of the examples in this book use frames, including:
m “Brochure” on page 40 (includes text frames)
m “Business Cards” on page 42 (includes painting frames)
m “School Report” on page 62 (includes spreadsheet and table frames)
For details on creating and working with frames, see “Integrating Different Kinds of Content
in a Document (Frames)” in AppleWorks Help.
See also “Controlling the Way Objects and Frames Interact With Text” on page 27.
26
Chapter 2
Adding Tables to Your Documents
The tables feature is new in AppleWorks 6. You can add a table to any type of document.
To add a table:
1
If the Tools window is not open, choose Show Tools from the Window menu.
2
Select the table frame tool.
3
Position the pointer where you want the table to appear, and drag diagonally to indicate the
size of the table.
4
Enter the number of rows and columns in the dialog box.
You can enter, edit, and delete items in the table. You can drag to reposition rows and
columns and to resize the table. You can also change border and background styles.
Note: Because a table is a frame, you can choose how you want the table to interact with
text. See “Controlling the Way Objects and Frames Interact With Text,” next.
These examples use tables:
m “Homework Sheet” on page 52
m “School Report” on page 62
Controlling the Way Objects and Frames Interact With Text
There are three different ways you can position items, such as graphics and frames, in a
word-processing document or frame:
m place the item inline with the text
m make the item “float” so that it does not appear inline with the text
m make the text wrap around the item
Getting to Know AppleWorks 6
27
Placing an Item Inline With Text
Like a word in a sentence, an inline item moves with the text flow as you edit your document.
The table below outlines how to place an item inline with text.
Object inline with text

m Double-click to place the I-beam pointer where you want the
item to appear (make sure nothing in the document is
selected), then choose Paste from the Edit menu.
Shortcut: Select the text tool and double-click to place the
pointer, then drag the item onto your document.
Making an Item “Float” Independently of Text
Unlike an inline item, a floating item does not flow with the text as you edit the document.
You can move a floating item, and you can place it behind text (to create an effect like the
background graphic in the “Agenda” on page 34). The table below outlines how to make an
item float independently of the text.
Note: A floating item does not move unless you move it.

Chapter 2
Exchanging Documents Between Different Computers and
Applications
Exchanging documents between different computers and applications is easy because
AppleWorks includes document translators that automate conversion from a variety of
formats (including the Windows and Macintosh versions of AppleWorks).
AppleWorks preserves as much as possible of the original document’s colors, layout, and
other formatting options.
Opening a Document From Another Application or Computer
To open a document from another application or computer:
1
If the document is on another computer, copy it to your computer. (See “Methods for
Transferring a Document From One Computer to Another,” below.)
2
Open the file as usual.
Note: If the file cannot be translated, try choosing a generic file format—for example, Text
for word-processing files, SYLK for spreadsheet files, DIF for database files, Picture or PNG
for drawing files, and JPEG or BMP for painting files. For more information, see “Opening a
Document” in the “AppleWorks Basics” section of AppleWorks Help.
Saving a Document so That It Can Be Opened in Another Application
To save a document so that it can be opened in another application:
1
Choose Save As from the File menu and enter a name for the file.
Note: If you’re saving a document on a Macintosh for use on a Windows computer, add the
Windows extension “.CWK” (or “.CWS” for template files) to the end of the filename.
2
From the Format pop-up menu, choose a format that is accepted by the other application.
For more information, see “Saving a Document” in the “AppleWorks Basics” section of
AppleWorks Help.
3
Select a location for the document.
Methods for Transferring a Document From One Computer to Another
There are a few different ways to transfer documents between computers.
You can
m send the document as an attachment in an electronic mail message (Don’t compress the
file. Many file compression methods are not compatible between Mac OS and Windows.)
m copy the document to a server on the same network, then copy the document from the
server to the other computer.
Getting to Know AppleWorks 6
31
m copy the document onto a removable disk that both computers can read, and insert the
disk into the other computer. For transferring between Mac OS and Windows, it’s best to
use a Windows-formatted disk because your Macintosh can format and read a Windows
disk. (For more information, see the documentation that came with your computer.)
Important
If given a conversion or copy method choice, choose “binary.”
Where to Go From Here
Now you are ready to start working with AppleWorks. As you need them, detailed
instructions are available in AppleWorks Help (as described in “Getting Instructions on
Specific Tasks” on page 8).
To see examples of the kinds of things you can do with AppleWorks, and to be directed to
instructions for specific techniques and features, see Chapter 3, “Examples and Ideas,” next.

Agenda
The Agenda is a word-processing document.
To find out how to
Choose AppleWorks Help
from the Help menu, then
draw objects
click “Drawing and working with objects,” then “Drawing
objects”
adjust margins
click “Working with text (word processing),” then
“Formatting word-processing documents,” then “Setting
document margins”
create a painting frame
click “Integrating different kinds of content in a
document (frames),” then “Creating frames”
insert an image
click “AppleWorks basics,” then “Inserting a file into a
document”
tint images
click “Painting and working with images,” then “Changing
the appearance of painted images,” then “Tinting a
painted image”
manipulate the layering of objects
click “Drawing and working with objects,” then
“Manipulating and positioning objects,” then “Moving
objects forward or backward”
Tips: A nice way to enhance a design is to use a tinted image as a background for text. When
you do this, choose white as the fill color and apply the Tint command several times in order
to make the image light enough for the text to be clear and easy to read.
Keep the major text elements aligned with each other (in this example they are aligned on
the left margin). This focuses the reader’s eye on content, which is especially important in
decorated documents.

Award Certificate
The Award Certificate is a drawing document.
To find out how to
Choose AppleWorks Help
from the Help menu, then
create shapes with drawing tools
click “Drawing and working with objects,” then “Drawing
objects”
choose colors, including gradients
click “Drawing and working with objects,” then
“Changing colors and other attributes (Accents),” then
“Changing fill colors and other attributes”
Tips: Because certificates usually contain primarily text, a key to designing them well is to
use two or three fonts and text sizes that contrast nicely with each other.
To create the type of drop-shadow lettering you see here, select the text and copy and paste
it. Then, move it behind and just slightly below the top layer of text. Use the Accents window
to make the shadow text a darker color.
You can quickly generate a variety of certificates by using the Certificate Assistant. (See
“Taking Advantage of Assistants and Templates” on page 12.)

To see the entire banner while working in the document, click the zoom-out control. (See
“Introduction to the AppleWorks Windows” on page 14.)
If your printer does not support printing banner-size documents, you can print the banner as
a series of pages and tape them together. As you design, you can avoid inconvenient page
breaks by turning on Page View so you can see where the page breaks occur. Choose Page
View from the Window menu.
To create text that is larger than the largest available size, type it and resize it in a painting
frame.

Business Cards
The Business cards are drawing documents.
To find out how to
Choose AppleWorks Help
from the Help menu, then
create a master page
click “Drawing and working with objects,” then “Creating
a common background or border for multiple pages”
draw shapes
click “Drawing and working with objects,” then “Drawing
objects,” then “Drawing shapes”
align objects
click “Drawing and working with objects,” then

painted image”
move an object to the background
click “Drawing and working with objects,” then
“Manipulating and positioning objects,” then “Moving
objects forward or backward”
Tips: Color printing can make your business card more distinctive. But, if you find it too
expensive, a single nonblack color can create a more affordable yet attractive card. (Be sure
to choose an ink that is dark enough to be easy to read.)
When you use a tinted image as a background for text, choose white as the fill color and
apply the Tint command several times in order to make the image light enough for the text
to be clear and easy to read.
Use a master page to create border guides, then delete them before printing.
See “Letterhead” on page 54 and “Mailing Labels” on page 56 for examples of how the
business card text and graphic elements can be reused in different pieces.

Dear Mrs. Jones:
Annos undeviginti natus exercitum privato consilio et privata impensa comparavi, per
quem rem publicam a dominatione factionis oppressam in libertatem vindicavi. [Ob
quae] senatus decretis honorificis in ordinem suum me adlegit, C. Pansa et A. Hirtio
consulibus, consularem locum sententiae dicendae tribuens, et imperium mihi dedit. Res
publica ne quid detrimenti caperet, me propraetore simul cum consulibus providere iussit.
Populus autem eodem anno me consulem, cum cos. uterque bello cecidisset, et
triumvirum rei publicae
constituendae creavit.
Qui parentem meum trucidaverunt, eos in exilium expuli iudiciis legitimis ultus eorum
facinus, et postea bellum inferentis rei publicae vici bis acie.
Bella terra et mari civilia externaque toto in orbe terrarum saepe gessi, victorque
omnibus veniam petentibus civibus peperci. Externas gentes, quibus tuto ignosci potuit,
conservare quam excidere malui. Millia civium Romanorum sub sacramento meo fuerunt
circiter
quingenta. Ex quibus deduxi in colonias aut remisi in municipia sua stipendis emeritis
millia aliquanto plura quam trecenta, et iis omnibus agros adsignavi aut pecuniam pro
praemiis militiae dedi. Naves cepi sescentas praeter eas, si quae minores quam triremes
fuerunt.
