in the System Folder or in the Application Support folder, which is in the
System Folder.
If this is a new installation of AppleWorks, the installation is complete.
For information on starting AppleWorks, see “Starting AppleWorks” in
the
AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual
.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of ClarisWorks, continue to
the next step.

installation” on page 1-3.
Your computer sets aside a certain amount of memory for each application.
When you start AppleWorks, it tells the computer how much memory to
reserve. You can change the amount of memory reserved for AppleWorks.
This section tells you how to adjust the memory allocation for AppleWorks.
For more information on managing memory, refer to the documentation that
came with your computer.
You may want to increase the amount of memory set aside for AppleWorks
if you plan to work on an especially large document, use many graphics,
work with painted images, or work on multiple files. Try increasing the size
to 3000K if you have enough computer memory. If you use a Power
Macintosh and have virtual memory turned off, AppleWorks requires more
memory.

You can set up AppleWorks for multiple users in either of the following
ways:

CD-ROM disc to a folder on the server so users can install AppleWorks
from the server on their local hard disks. This is the recommended
method.
1
Install AppleWorks on a network server so multiple users can run one
copy of the application.

Warning
multiple computers only if you have either (1) installed software that locks
out any concurrent users in excess of the number of licensed copies of
AppleWorks, or (2) paid for an authorized, licensed copy of AppleWorks 5
for each computer connected to the network. Contact Apple or an authorized
Apple reseller if you need to license additional copies of AppleWorks 5.
You may install AppleWorks 5 on a network that is accessible by
Setting up an AppleWorks Installer on a server
Follow these instructions to set up an AppleWorks Installer on a server so
that users can install AppleWorks onto their own computers from the server.
1.
Create a folder on the server named AppleWorks Installation (or pick a similar
name).
2.
Open the new folder, and then copy the AppleWorks 5 Installer files to the new
folder.
To set up server installation from a CD-ROM: put the CD-ROM disc
1
into the CD-ROM drive. From the window that opens, drag all of the
AppleWorks 5 installation files into the folder.

click the
folder to open it on the server, and then double-click the
Install AppleWorks icon. If you set up from a CD-ROM, users doubleclick the Install AppleWorks icon. Then they can do an easy or custom
installation.
For more information about setting privileges and sharing folders, see your
AppleShare documentation or the documentation that came with your
computer.
Installing AppleWorks 5 on a network server
You can install AppleWorks on a network server so that many users can run
the same copy. Although sharing one copy of AppleWorks over the network
is not the best alternative for most users, some network managers may prefer
this method. (For users who don’t have room on their hard disks to install
AppleWorks, consider having them store files on the server rather than
trying to run AppleWorks from the server.)
Installing AppleWorks 5

Limitations to sharing AppleWorks 5
AppleWorks usually runs more slowly over a network because of network
traffic and other conditions. Also, multiple users sharing one copy of
AppleWorks over a network cannot use all of the application’s capabilities.
Only one person can check spelling at a time. While the spelling checker
1
is in use, AppleWorks displays an error message to others who try to
check spelling.
1
Only one person at a time can use the AppleWorks Help file and the
Assistants.
AppleWorks translators are not available.
1
AppleWorks cannot open communications documents for users who do
1
not have a basic set of communications tools in the System Folder on their
computers. People running a minimal version of the operating system
from a floppy disk typically do not have room for these tools.
Only the first person to start AppleWorks sees each font name in the Font
1
menu in its own typeface. Subsequent users see all the font names in the
Chicago typeface.
You can create a folder containing a minimum set of files that can be copied
to each network user’s computer so that users can check spelling, use help,
and translate files. Put the following files in the indicated folders in the
System Folder on each network user’s computer. (If the folders do not exist,
you can create them.)

Steps for installing AppleWorks 5 on a server
These instructions tell you how to install AppleWorks 5 on a network server
so multiple users can run one copy of the application. If you are not the
network administrator for the server, you should get the administrator’s
approval before installing AppleWorks.
1.
Make sure that no one else is using the server.
AppleWorks 5 Installer requires that you restart the server after you have
installed AppleWorks.
2.
Insert the CD-ROM disc, or the floppy disk labeled
Disk 1
, into the appropriate
drive on the server.
3.
Follow the instructions for “Doing an easy installation” on page 1-3 or for
“Doing a custom installation” on page 1-4.
4.
Open the server’s System Folder and hold down the Option key as you drag the
Claris folder into the AppleWorks 5 folder on the server.
Holding down the Option key as you drag the folder copies (rather than
moves) the Claris folder.
5.
Locate the AppleWorks folder, either in the System Folder or in the Application
Support folder (in the System Folder), and copy it to the AppleWorks 5 folder.
Users can now run AppleWorks 5 over the network. Be sure to advise them
of the limitations described in the previous section, “Limitations to sharing
AppleWorks 5.”

as wrapping text around an object or saving a template for reuse.
Internet features
Link to a World Wide Web page
New features in AppleWorks 5 2-3
AppleWorks makes it easy for you to take full advantage of Internet and
browser services. You can also make interactive AppleWorks documents
that don’t connect to the Internet.
Any word processing, draw, or spreadsheet document can contain links, that,
when clicked, start your browser and connect to a specific World Wide Web
page. You can attach links to
1 selected text
1 draw objects
1 spreadsheet cells
1 text, paint, or spreadsheet frames

Make your own Web page
Creating Web pages with AppleWorks is simple and quick. You create a
word processing document and then use AppleWorks to translate the
document so that it is readable by a browser.
Make a document interactive
You can make most AppleWorks documents interactive by formatting text
or graphics as links to another part of the same document (called a book
mark) or to another AppleWorks document (called a document link). You
can’t create links in database and communications documents.

Functionality enhancements
New AppleWorks features make it easier to accomplish the work you do
every day.
Set a default font
You can now specify a default font for word processing documents. Every
time you create a new word processing document, AppleWorks
automatically uses the font you specify as the default font.

define a field in a database document and select the Multimedia type.
Enhance your graphics
You can now add textures (multicolored fill patterns) to objects you’ve
drawn, to text frames, to charts, or to database fields.
Create complex equations
The Equation Editor utility program from Design Science, Inc. is available
within AppleWorks. Using the Equation Editor, you can create complex
mathematical and scientific equations that you can insert into a word
processing document or a text frame.
Use named cells
You can use ordinary, natural language in spreadsheet formulas. You can
assign a name, such as Expenses or Fees, to a single cell or range of cells.
Then you can use the cell name instead of the cell address to
1 help you remember the purpose of the data in a particular cell or cell range
1 search for cells by name
1 refer to cells by name in calculations and formulas
Improved file compatibility
AppleWorks now can read files created in Microsoft Office 95. AppleWorks
can also save files in these and other formats. New filters include an
improved HTML translator and new GIF and JPEG graphics filters.
