such as clicking and dragging. If you need more information about mouse techniques, working
with disks, or making copies of documents and disks, see the documentation that came with
your computer.
What You Need
To install AppleWorks, you need
m
the CD-ROM disc in the AppleWorks 6 package
m
a Macintosh computer with at least 24 megabytes (MB) of memory and a PowerPC
™
processor or higher (You can’t use AppleWorks 6 on 68000-based Macintosh computers.)
m
a CD-ROM or DVD drive
m
Mac OS 8.1 or later
m
virtual memory turned on in the Memory control panel
To access additional templates and clip art, you need a connection to the Internet.

Before You Install
Before you begin installation, register your new software and turn off virus protection.
Registering Your Software
Please register your copy of AppleWorks at the following Web site:
http://register.apple.com/
Or, complete and mail the product registration card included in your package.
Turning Off Virus Protection
Some virus-protection programs may conflict with the AppleWorks Installer. Before you install
AppleWorks, turn off any virus-protection programs. Refer to the documentation that came
with your virus-protection software for more information.
After you complete the installation, you can turn virus protection back on.
Installing AppleWorks
You have two options for installing AppleWorks on your hard disk:
m
Easy (complete) installation is recommended. The Installer installs the entire AppleWorks
package.
m
Custom installation lets you choose the files you install.
AppleWorks is installed in a new folder named AppleWorks 6. The Installer will not remove
previous versions of ClarisWorks or AppleWorks or any of your data files.
Doing an Easy Installation
To install the complete AppleWorks package:
Insert the AppleWorks CD-ROM disc into the drive.
1
You see a window on your screen with two Installer icons. If you see only the icon for the
CD-ROM disc, double-click the icon.
2
Double-click the appropriate Installer icon for your country.
Click Continue in the opening screen.

4
If you agree to the licensing terms, click Accept.
5
Click Install.
Follow the onscreen instructions.

7
Click Restart.

The AppleWorks application is now in the AppleWorks 6 folder.
If you’re installing AppleWorks for the first time, the installation is complete.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of ClarisWorks or AppleWorks, continue to the
next step.
If you previously created custom stationery (templates), move your stationery documents to
8
the Templates folder in the Starting Points folder, which is in the AppleWorks 6 folder.

Using a Network Server
These instructions are for network administrators who want to set up AppleWorks on a server
for network access. You can set up AppleWorks for multiple users in either of the following
ways:
m
Copy the appropriate Installer from the AppleWorks CD-ROM disc to a folder on the server
so users can install AppleWorks on their computers from the server. This is the
recommended method.
m
Install AppleWorks on a network server so multiple users can use one copy of the
application.
Warning
You may install AppleWorks on a network for use by 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 for each computer connected to the network. Contact Apple or an authorized
Apple reseller if you need to license additional copies of AppleWorks.
Setting Up an AppleWorks Installer on a Server
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).
Open the new folder.
2
3
Insert the AppleWorks CD-ROM disc into the drive.
4
From the CD-ROM window that appears, drag all the files to the folder you created on the
server.
Close the folder. With the folder still selected, choose Sharing from the File menu (or choose
5
Get Info from the File menu, then choose Sharing).
Set permissions so users and groups can read the contents of the folder but can’t make
6
changes.
For more information about setting privileges and sharing folders, see the documentation that
came with your computer. If you are working directly on the server, you must set permissions
using the AppleShare Admin program. See your AppleShare documentation for instructions.
The installation folder is now set up for users to install AppleWorks over the network. To begin
installation, users double-click the appropriate Installer icon.

Installing AppleWorks on a Network Server
You can install AppleWorks on a network server so that many users can use the same copy.
Although sharing AppleWorks over the network is not the best alternative for most users, some
network administrators may prefer this method.
Limitations to Sharing AppleWorks
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:
m
Only one person at a time can check spelling or use Assistants.
m
AppleWorks translators (for file conversion) are not available.
m
Only the first person to open AppleWorks sees each font name in the Font menu in its own
typeface. Subsequent users see all the font names in the default system typeface.
For instructions on how to minimize two of the limitations, see the next section.
Minimizing the Limitations
You can copy files from the server to each network user’s computer, so that more than one
user at a time can check spelling and translate files. On each network user’s computer, create a
folder called AppleWorks 6, and create another folder within this folder called AppleWorks
Essentials. Put the files listed below in the AppleWorks Essentials folder.
m
Translators (HTML, ASCII, and TEXT)
m
the Dictionaries folder

Steps for Installing AppleWorks on a Server
These instructions tell you how to install AppleWorks on a network server so multiple users
can use the same copy at the same time. If you are not the network administrator for the
server, you should get the administrator’s approval before installing AppleWorks.
1
Make sure that the Internet Config Extension, QuickTime 4, and CarbonLib are installed on the
network users’ computers. For those users running Mac OS 8.1, make sure that the Navigation
extension is also installed.
AppleWorks 6 requires QuickTime 4 and CarbonLib. The Internet Config Extension is required
to use the Internet linking feature in AppleWorks 6. ( You can install the Internet Config
Extension as shareware.)
AppleWorks 6 also uses Navigation Services, a feature included in Mac OS 8.5 and later. For Mac
OS 8.1 users, you must install the Navigation file to provide the Navigation Services feature.
Make sure that no one else is using the server.
2
The AppleWorks Installer requires that you restart the server after you have installed
AppleWorks.
3
Insert the AppleWorks CD-ROM disc into the drive.
4
Follow the instructions for “Doing an Easy Installation” on page 4 or for “Doing a Custom
Installation” on page 5.
Users can now run AppleWorks over the network. Be sure to advise them of any existing
limitations described in “Limitations to Sharing AppleWorks” on page 7.
