Getting to Know AppleWorks 6

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.

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. Specic 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

A number of small, oating windows 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, Internet content, and recently opened les. When no document is open, Starting Points appears. You can also open it from the File menu.
m Tools: Contains frame, drawing, painting, table, and formatting tools. To open the Tools window, choose Show Tools from the Window menu.
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 nd the items you want. To open Clippings, choose Show Clippings from the File menu.

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 nd specic 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.
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 yers m newsletters A blank drawing document looks like this:

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 speakers notes. You can hide specic slides so you can use the same presentation for different audiences, add special slide transitions such as the fade out and fade in effects, and include movie or sound les.
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: integrating different types of content in a document using frames, adding tables to your documents, 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 les; 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.

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:
If the Tools window is not open, choose Show Tools from the Window menu. Select the table frame tool.
Position the pointer where you want the table to appear, and drag diagonally to indicate the size of the table. 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 ways you can position items, such as graphics and frames, in a wordprocessing document or frame: m place the item inline with the text m make the item oat so that it does not appear inline with the text m make the text wrap around the item
Placing an Item Inline With Text
Like a word in a sentence, an inline item moves with the text ow as you edit your document. The table below outlines how to place an item inline with text.

Object inline with text

Type of item
Do this to place it inline with text
Object or frame (that is not already inline) in the same AppleWorks document
m Create the object or frame and select it. m Choose Cut from the Edit menu. m Click to place the I-beam pointer where you want the item to appear in the text, then choose Paste from the Edit menu. m Select the text tool in the Tools window. m Click to place the I-beam pointer where you want the le to appear. m Choose Insert from the File menu and select the le (or drag it to your document). m Copy the item. 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 into your document.
Object or frame in another document or application, or an item from Clippings or Mac OS Scrapbook
Making an Item Float Independently of Text
Unlike an inline item, a oating item does not ow with the text as you edit the document. You can move a oating 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 oat independently of the text. Note: A oating item does not move unless you move it.

Object oating over text

Do this to make it float independently of text
Object or frame in the same AppleWorks document File
m Create the object or frame. (It oats over the text by default.) m Select the arrow in the Tools window. m Choose Insert from the File menu and select the le. Shortcut: Select the arrow, then drag the le to your document. m Select the arrow in the Tools window. m Copy and paste (or drag) the item into your document. Do not click in your document before pasting.

Select a location for the document.
Methods for Transferring a Document From One Computer to Another
There are a few ways to transfer documents between computers. You can m send the document as an attachment in an electronic mail message (Dont compress the le. Many le 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 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, its 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 Specic Tasks on page 8). To see examples of the kinds of things you can do with AppleWorks, and to be directed to instructions for specic techniques and features, see Chapter 3, Examples and Ideas, next.

Examples and Ideas

This chapter includes examples of many of the things you can do with AppleWorks. Each example tells you where to nd instructions for creating elements highlighted there. Tip: All of these examples are also templates you can use and customize. To access them and many more, click the Templates tab in the Starting Points window.

manipulate the layering of objects
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 ll color and apply the Tint command several times 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 readers eye on content, which is especially important in decorated documents.

click Drawing and working with objects, then Drawing objects click Drawing and working with objects, then Changing colors and other attributes, then Changing ll colors and other attributes
Tips: Because certicates 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 the new text behind and just slightly below the top layer of text. Use the Tools window to make the shadow text a darker color. You can quickly generate a variety of certicates by using the Certicate Assistant. (See Taking Advantage of Assistants and Templates on page 12.)
