Working with AppleWorks

With the AppleWorks application, you can do all the jobs you perform most

often on a personal computer: word processing, outlining, drawing and

painting, presentations, spreadsheet computation and charting, database

management, and telecommunications. The rest of this chapter describes the

different types of work you can do with AppleWorks.

First go through the introductory material (both in print and onscreen) that

you received with your computer. When you’re ready to learn about

AppleWorks, start by running the onscreen tour, “Introduction to

AppleWorks.” For instructions on starting AppleWorks and running the

onscreen tour, see “How to start” on page 1-1. The tour is an easy way to see

Introduction

What’s a document?

You use the AppleWorks application to create documents. A

document

is a

computer file in which you enter information. You can create, open, change,

save, print, delete, and duplicate documents. When saved, a document

appears as an icon on the desktop.

When you create a document, it appears in its own window, with the tools

needed for that document type.

When a document is open, you see its contents (such as a letter or a drawing)

displayed in the window. When printed, a document looks just as it does on

the screen.

Document types

You can create six different types of documents with AppleWorks—

word processing, drawing, painting, spreadsheet, database, and

communications. As you look at the document windows on the following

pages, notice that each document type has its own menus and tools.

While each type of document is mainly for a certain type of work such as

writing a letter or drawing a picture, you can use AppleWorks to combine

different kinds of work within a single document by using a

frame

, a view of

one document within a different type of document. For example, you can add

a spreadsheet to a letter without first creating a spreadsheet document.

1-8

AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual

Text (word processing) documents

Use a word processing document to write a letter, report, story, outline, form

letter, or other project that is mostly text. If you want to add a spreadsheet or

pictures, you can do so without leaving the word processing document by

creating a spreadsheet frame or drawing directly in the letter.

AppleWorks word processing documents give you great 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 better

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.

See chapter 4, “Text (word processing),” for more information about what

you can do with word processing documents and text frames.

Introduction

Draw documents

Use a draw document for artwork and page layout. A draw document

includes objects (such as rectangles, circles, and lines) that you can create,

select, move, and modify. If you want to add text, a spreadsheet, or clip art,

you can do so in the same document.

Draw documents are useful for creating presentations, newsletters, maps,

organizational charts, and illustrations. Draw documents are especially

useful for complex page layouts—you can link text frames in a draw

document so the text flows from one frame to the next.

See chapter 5, “Drawing,” for more information about what you can do with

draw documents and using drawing tools in all types of documents. For

information on linking frames, see chapter 9, “Beyond the basics.”

Paint documents

Use a paint document primarily for creating illustrations. You can use the

same tools you use to create drawings, plus a set of tools for special effects

like paintbrush strokes and spray paint. If you want to add a spreadsheet,

text, or clip art, you can do so without leaving the paint document.

paint documents and paint frames.

Spreadsheet documents

Use a spreadsheet document to organize numeric information, make

calculations, and create professional-looking reports. You can also use a

spreadsheet for any type of information (such as a schedule) that you want

to present in a columnar format. You can add a headline or pictures, or turn

the numbers into charts to aid comprehension, right in the spreadsheet

document.

spreadsheet documents and spreadsheet frames.

Database documents

Database documents are useful for managing and organizing collections of

information, such as address lists, student or customer records, or research

notes. In a database document you can accumulate information, sort it, and

print attractive reports. You can also perform sophisticated searches to find

and work with only the information you want. By creating different layouts

(views) of the data, you can organize and present the same data in many

different ways. You can also enhance the data by adding pictures, patterned

Communications documents

A communications document is different from other AppleWorks

documents. It conducts a communications session between your computer

and an online information service, a bulletin board, or another computer.

With a communications document, you can connect to a remote computer

and receive, send, and save data. Options are preset for most commonly used

settings, so all you usually have to do is add the telephone number.

See chapter 10, “Communications,” for more information about

communications documents.

Where to go from here

Now you’re ready to start AppleWorks and create some documents of your

own. If you haven’t looked over the section “How to start” on page 1-1, do

so now. It shows you how to use the manual and the onscreen Help system

together to find information. Then go to “Starting AppleWorks” on page 2-1.

“Linking Web pages” on page 11-6.

Saving document formatting as templates (stationery)

Stationery is a template that you create once and then reuse many times. Save

a document as stationery whenever you spend time customizing a document

and think you may want to use the same settings again. For example, you can

create stationery to design your own custom letterhead, a monthly

newsletter, or a customer tracking database that you and the rest of your

company can use regularly. Stationery can contain text, draw objects, paint

images, formatting, and other options you routinely use. There are two ways

to set up stationery in AppleWorks: regular and default.

Setting up regular stationery

If you plan to reuse the same combinations of text, objects, or settings, you

can create templates, called regular stationery, for specific uses. For

example, you might want to create regular stationery for your letterhead or a

newsletter.

You can set up regular stationery to open from the New Document dialog

box or from the Open dialog box. Stationery set up to open from the New

Document dialog box can be organized into categories to make it easier to

find.

document to the None category.

3. Click OK.

Your label shows in the Category pop-up menu in the New Document

dialog box (click Use Assistant or Stationery to see the Category pop-up menu).

For more information about entering document summary information, see

“Identifying your documents” on page 2-16.

Setting up default stationery

If you plan to use certain settings every time you create a document, set up a

document as default stationery (or Options stationery) that opens

automatically whenever you create a new document of that type. For

example, you might want to change the default font used in a new word

processing document.

Creating stationery

To create a stationery document, prepare a document with the settings and

information you want to save as stationery, and then follow these steps to

save the document:

1. Choose Save As from the File menu and click Stationery in the dialog box.

Protecting documents with passwords

You can protect a document or stationery by setting a password, which you

using AppleWorks.

1. Choose Document Summary from the File menu.

2. Click Set Password, type a password (up to 255 characters of letters, numbers, or

symbols), and then click OK.

3. In the confirmation dialog box, type the password again, and then click OK.

Important Keep the following points in mind:

1If you set a password for default (Options) stationery, you must type the

password each time you open the stationery document. If you don’t type

the correct password when you try to open the document, AppleWorks

opens a blank document of the same type.

1To maintain security, consider doing the following:

1Make passwords easy to remember, but not so easy that someone can

guess them.

1If you write down passwords, store them in a secure place away from

your computer.

1Change passwords often.

1Passwords provide a minimum level of security to your documents and

should not be used to protect sensitive information. Setting a password

does not encrypt the file. To protect sensitive documents, consider taking

additional security measures.

Using the button bar

When you open an AppleWorks document, you see the button bar at the top

of the document window (below the menu bar). The button bar saves time by

providing shortcuts to activities that would otherwise take several steps to

complete. The button bar is preset to include buttons for some common

AppleWorks actions.

To change the way you work with the button bar, you can:

1show or hide it

1change its position

1customize its appearance

1add or remove buttons

1create your own buttons to perform the tasks you choose (see “Creating

and editing custom buttons” on page 9-33).

There are several preset button bars. You can switch to a different one or

create your own button bar. For more information, see “Creating your own

button bar” on page 3-7.

Switching button bars

You can display only one button bar at a time, and the buttons on the button

bar change depending on the type of document. The Default button bars

include buttons for the most common actions for the current document type.

AppleWorks provides specialized button bars. For example, the Assistant

button bar includes all the Assistants for the document type. To switch to a

specialized button bar, choose the name of the button bar you want to display

from the menu on the button bar.

Working with frames

In AppleWorks, you can add different types of information (spreadsheet

data, text, and paint images) to the same document. These different types of

information are stored in special objects called frames. A frame is an object

that acts like a window to another type of document. You can draw frames

in every type of document (except communications).

To create a frame, click to select a frame tool in the tool panel, position the

pointer over the page, and then hold down the mouse button and drag the

pointer until the frame is the size you want. You can now work in the frame,

and you see the appropriate menu commands for that frame (for example,

you see spreadsheet commands when you work in a spreadsheet frame).

Working in an AppleWorks document

This section describes methods you can use to work with most AppleWorks

documents.

Cutting, copying, and pasting

In AppleWorks you can cut, copy, and paste text, objects, or images within

a document or frame, between AppleWorks documents, and between an

AppleWorks document and another application’s document.

Note There are some exceptions to the cut and paste rules in AppleWorks

documents. You cannot cut text from a communications document, but you

can copy it. If you paste text into a communications document with an open

connection, the text is sent to the remote computer to which you are

connected. You also cannot paste objects into a spreadsheet cell. In a

database document, you can paste objects only in Layout mode or into a

multimedia field.

Copying objects using the drag and drop feature

If your computer’s operating system supports drag and drop, you can use drag

and drop to copy text, objects, images, and spreadsheet cells between

documents and applications.

Note You can also use drag and drop to open and insert documents. For more

information about drag and drop, see onscreen Help, and the documentation

that comes with your computer.

To Do this For this result

Copy Select the text, object, or

image to copy and click on

the Default button bar, or

choose Copy from the Edit

menu.

image on the Clipboard. The original item

stays in the document or frame.

Cut Select the text, object, or

image to cut and click on

the Default button bar, or

choose Cut from the Edit menu.

Removes the selected text, object, or

image from a document or frame and

places it in the Clipboard.

Paste Position the insertion point

where you want to place the

cut or copied text, object, or

image, and click on the

Default button bar, or choose

Paste from the Edit menu.

Places the cut or copied text, object, or

image at the insertion point, or the last

place you clicked.

Basics 3-11

To use drag and drop to copy items between documents and applications:

1Select text, objects, images, or spreadsheet cells and then drag them to

another AppleWorks document, or to another application that supports

drag and drop.

1Select text or spreadsheet cells and drag them to the desktop. You see a

text clipping (a file you can drag to another document or application).

Working with pages

You can change the design of all or some of the pages in a document by

formatting text in columns, putting text in tables, and adjusting page and

column breaks.

You can also add headers and footers to pages and show the current page

number, date, and time in the document. See “Creating headers and footers”

on page 3-14 and “Adding a date or time” and “Numbering pages” on

page 3-16.

To insert or delete a section, click on the Default button bar, or type 2-;

(semicolon) to display the formatting characters. Then:

For more information about formatting characters, see “Showing formatting

characters” on page 4-6.

Formatting sections

A new section uses the settings of the section preceding it. To change the

format of a section, click anywhere in the section, and then choose Section

from the Format menu. In the title bar of the Section dialog box, you see the

number of the section you’re formatting.

If more than one section is selected, you see the number of the first section

in the title bar of the Section dialog box. Changes you make in the Section

dialog box apply to the first section in the selection only.

Note You cannot insert a section with the Section dialog box. For

information on inserting a section, see the previous section.

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

To Do this

Insert a section Choose Insert Section Break from the Format menu.

You see a section break character where you inserted the section.

When page guides are visible, you see a section break line at the end of

each section. (See “Previewing pages for printing” on page 3-12.)

Text (word processing) 4-27

Varying the number of columns on a page

If you add more than one section to a page, you can vary the number of

columns on the page. For example, to create a page with one column on the

top half of the page and two columns on the bottom half, add a second

section to the page by selecting Insert Section Break from the Format menu

and setting the section to start on a new line, and then add another column

to that section.

You add columns using the column controls or the Section dialog box. Use

the column controls to add or subtract equal-width columns. Use the Section

dialog box to create variable-width columns or to enter precise column

widths. For more information on adding columns, see onscreen Help,

“Creating and changing columns” on page 4-21, and the previous section.

Numbering sections

You can place the section number in a header or footer, and have it print on

every page of the section. Doing so is useful if a section represents a chapter

in a book, and you want to show chapter and page numbers. For example,

you can show:

1a section number by itself (“Chapter 3”, “Chapter 4”) or with the current

page number (“Page 3-11”, “Page 3-12”)

1a page number within a section (“Page 1 of 10” and “Page 2 of 10” where

there are ten pages in the section)

1the total number of pages in a section (“This chapter contains 32 pages”)

an option from the Representation pop-up menu.

Adding footnotes and endnotes

Annotate your documents with footnotes (notes at the bottom of a page) or

endnotes (notes at the end of a document). To add footnotes or endnotes to a

document, place the insertion point where you want the footnote reference

and choose Insert Footnote from the Format menu. You can later change a

footnote to an endnote in the Document dialog box explained in the table on

the next page. AppleWorks assigns the footnote an incremental number and

creates space at the end of the page or document for the footnote or endnote

text. As you type the footnote text, the document text adjusts to

accommodate the length of the footnote. When you’re finished typing the

footnote text, click the main text area or press Enter.

If you need help adding or formatting footnotes or endnotes, use the

AppleWorks Assistant for inserting footnotes. Choose AppleWorks Assistants

from the or Help menu. Select Insert Footnote, and then click OK. See

“Creating a document” on page 2-2 for more information about Assistants.

Adding pictures and frames to text

There are two ways to place pictures and frames—such as clip art,

spreadsheets, drawings, and paintings—in a word processing document.

You can insert them as inline objects, so that they move along, or flow, with

your text, or place them as independent objects that float on the page and are

not affected by the text.

Insert an object as an inline object when you want the object always to

appear next to specific text, or flow to the next line as you type more text.

Add a floating object when you want to wrap text around the object (see the

next section), or move the object with the arrow pointer.

To insert an inline or a floating object in a document, first show the tool

panel (choose Show Tools from the Window menu if the tool panel is hidden).

Then:

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

To insert Do this

An inline object in text Select the text tool in the tool panel, and then

place the insertion point in the text before you

paste, drag, or insert the object.

A floating object to a document Select the arrow pointer in the tool panel, and

then paste, drag, or insert the object.

Once you add an object, you can change how it’s placed in text.

Aligning inline objects To move any inline object (except equations) above or

below the baseline of the text, double-click the object. In the Descent dialog

box, type the number of points (between –255 and 255) you want the object

to move. Type a positive number to move the object below the line of text,

or type a negative number to move it above the line of text.

Wrapping text around pictures

You can wrap text so that it flows around a picture or frame—either in a

rectangular shape or around the contours of the object.

To change Do this

A floating object to an inline object Select the arrow pointer in the tool panel and

select the floating object. Choose Cut or Copy from

the Edit menu, and then select the text tool in

the tool panel. Then place the insertion point in

the text and choose Paste from the Edit menu.

Creating links in word processing documents

When you plan to use an AppleWorks word processing document (or a

document that contains a text frame) onscreen or on the Internet, you can

select an area of the document or frame and create a link (a connection or

jump) to a different area of the same document, a different document, or a

document or other information on the Internet.

To create a link in a word processing document, select text, and then create

the link. For more information, see “Creating links” on page 9-1. To create

a link to information on the Internet, see “Linking Web pages” on page 11-6.

To Do this

Wrap text around a

picture in a word

processing document

Place the picture in your document as an object (see the previous

section). Click the picture to select it, and then choose Text Wrap

from the Options menu. To wrap text around the contours of the

object, choose Irregular. The number in the Gutter box determines

how close the wrap is to the object. You can also click on the

Default button bar for an irregular wrap.

Wrap text within a text

frame Select the item you want to wrap text around and place it over a

linked text frame. (Select the frame and see if Frame Links in the

Chapter 5: Drawing

This chapter describes what you can do with the AppleWorks drawing tools.

All draw features, including procedures, shortcuts, and troubleshooting, are

described completely in onscreen Help.

When to use a drawing

Use a drawing whenever you want to create simple shapes, such as

rectangles, circles, lines, and polygons. You can combine these simple

shapes to create designs—such as a map or a quick sketch—in any type of

document except a communications document. You don’t need to create a

frame first.

Consider using a draw document for large drawings or for designing or

laying out a page. For example, you can:

1create layouts for newsletters, brochures, and announcements

1design a logo or letterhead

1create professional-looking forms, such as invoices and project planning

sheets

1design a border or background and create a master page to place the

border or background on every page of a presentation

1make flowcharts, or seating and organizational charts

1illustrate floor plans and furniture arrangements

Drawing basics

You use the same tools and commands any time you work with the drawing

tools.

Combine lines, text frames, and ready-made

pictures to create a simple map

Creating a drawing

Note You can create pictures by either drawing or by painting. For

information about painting and how it differs from drawing, see

What are objects?

A drawing is made of objects—separate elements such as rectangles, lines,

and text, as well as paint and spreadsheet frames. Think of a drawing as a

collage in which you create and arrange objects of various shapes, sizes, and

colors. When you overlap objects, the hidden parts still exist.

Every object has a border (which you can hide) and a fill (the area within the

border).

Another type of object is a frame. Most of what you can do with an object

you can do with a frame as well.

Using the drawing tools

You use the tools in the tool panel to create, select, move, resize, and reshape

objects. (If you don’t see the tool panel, start by choosing Show Tools from the

Window menu.)

You use the first four tools in the tool panel to work with frames and objects.

For more information, see “Working with frames” on page 3-9.

text frames behind the main body of text

1create a border around the contents of each page

1add a common background to slides in a presentation

To create a master page, choose Edit Master Page from the Options menu. (You

Chapter 6: Painting

This chapter describes what you can do with an AppleWorks paint document

or paint frame. All paint features, including procedures, buttons, and

troubleshooting, are described completely in onscreen Help.

When to use a painting

Use a painting when you want to create airbrush or brushstroke effects, to

tint colors, or to transform shapes (for example, to add perspective to an

image), or add special effects (for example, blurring an image). Because

paintings are made of individual pixels (dots) that you can change, you have

very precise control over textures, colors, and shapes.

Use an AppleWorks paint document or frame to:

1create “hand-painted” artwork for invitations, holiday decorations,

posters, and announcements

1illustrate reports

1work with scanned pictures

When you are painting, you use the same tools used to make drawings

(described in “Using the drawing tools” on page 5-3) plus additional painting

tools, such as the spray can.

6-2 AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual

How paintings and drawings differ Drawings are made of objects that can be

selected, moved, or changed while retaining their individual identity. For

example, when one object in a drawing overlaps another, the back object

remains intact. Paintings are made of many separate pixels. Shapes drawn in

a painting lose their individual identity and become part of the collection of

pixels. For example, when one image in a painting overlaps another, the back

image is permanently replaced with the front image.

Painting basics

A painting can be a document or a frame. You use the same tools and

commands any time you work with a painting, whether it’s a document or

a frame.

Chapter 7: Spreadsheet

This chapter describes what you can do with an AppleWorks spreadsheet

document or spreadsheet frame. All spreadsheet features, including

procedures, buttons, and troubleshooting, are described completely in

onscreen Help.

When to use a spreadsheet

Use a spreadsheet when you want to organize text and numbers in rows and

columns. For example, you can:

1develop a budget

1analyze financial performance

1track loans, mortgages, and stock and bond performance

1maintain a checkbook

1schedule projects

1manage business and personal assets

1chart your children’s growth and medical information

1produce profit-and-loss statements

Spreadsheet Chart based on first two

columns of the spreadsheet

Expense categories in rows,

months in columns

Add your

own title

Use a formula to calculate totals

7-2 AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual

You can also use a spreadsheet to present text in a table. For example, use a

spreadsheet document to type a schedule or list, or use a spreadsheet frame

to format a table in a word processing document. For more information about

using a spreadsheet frame as a text table, see “Creating tables” on page 4-19.

Spreadsheet or database? You can use either a spreadsheet or a database

document to store and organize information. Use a spreadsheet when you

primarily want to do computations or when you want to do simple (numeric

or alphabetic) sorts. Use a database document when you want to print labels,

present the information in various layouts, or do complex sorting. For more

information on databases, see chapter 8, “Database.”

Spreadsheet basics

A spreadsheet can be a document or a frame (a spreadsheet within another

document). You use the same commands and controls any time you work

with a spreadsheet, whether it’s a document or a frame.

Working with formulas

Use formulas to perform calculations on spreadsheet data. You can combine

numbers, cell references, named cells or ranges and functions (predefined

formulas) to build your formulas. For some simple formula examples, see

“Examples: Entering formulas” on page 7-25.

Important The examples in this documentation are based on U.S.

conventions. For example, dates and numbers are shown in U.S. formats. In

English-speaking countries other than the United States, functions, formulas,

and calculations might be formatted differently. For example, in the U.S.,

commas act as separators in formulas. In other countries, semicolons might

be used as separators.

Understanding formulas

Within a single formula, you can calculate a result using:

1values, such as $4.95, Ms. Jane Smith, or February 2, 1997

1operators, such as +, -, *, =, >, or ()

1cell references, such as B2, P66, or D7

7-22 AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual

Formulas can be simple or very complex, with many parts. All of these are

legitimate (and simple) formulas:

See “Working with functions” on page 7-26 for more information on

functions.

Cell references in formulas

A formula can contain references to a cell or a range of cells. AppleWorks

uses the data in the cells to compute the formula’s result. There are two types

of references: relative and absolute.

1A relative reference gives the location of a cell relative to the location of

the current cell. If you copy and paste a formula with a relative reference

to another cell, AppleWorks changes the reference to reflect the relative

position from the new source cell.

1An absolute reference stays the same when you copy and paste a formula.

To enter an absolute cell reference, type a dollar sign ($) before each part

of the cell address. You can also mix absolute and relative addresses in

the same formula (for example, =$A$1+B1).

This formula Does this

=B6+B8 Adds the values in cells B6 and B8

=E9*3.5 Multiplies the value in cell E9 by 3.5, a constant (fixed value)

that you supply

=Shares*Price Multiplies the values in two named cells (see “Naming cells

and ranges” on page 7-12)

=“California” Places a text constant (California) in a cell

=SUM(D4..D12) Uses the SUM function (a predefined formula) to add the

values in the cell range D4 to D12

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

In the Help index,* see:

Ecells, references

The formula in cell A3 is =$A$1+$A$2.

If you copy the data in cell A3 to B3, the

formula is still =$A$1+$A$2.

Relative reference

The formula in cell A3 is =A1+A2. If

you copy the data in cell A3 to B3,

the formula becomes =B1+B2.

Absolute reference

Spreadsheet 7-23

Circular references Avoid circular references in a spreadsheet. A circular

reference occurs when two or more cells refer to each other—for example

when cell A1 contains =B2*3 and cell B2 contains =A1+4. A circular

reference also occurs when a cell refers to itself, for example, in the formula

A10=SUM(A1..A10).

AppleWorks marks cells that contain circular references with bullets. To

turn off the markings, choose Display from the Options menu, and then

deselect Mark circular refs.

Entering formulas

You can type each of the formula elements or have AppleWorks enter cell

references and functions for you. To enter a formula, select the cell where

you want the formula’s result to go and type an equal sign (=) in the entry

bar. Type the formula after the equal sign (you can put a space before or after

any operators), and then click to confirm your entry.

Tip You can quickly total the values in selected cells and display the result

in the row or column cell adjacent to the selected cells. Select the cells

(including a blank cell to display the total) and click on the Default button

bar.

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

To Do this Example

Enter a reference to

a single cell Click to select the cell that you want to

refer to. AppleWorks enters a plus sign (+)

when you click the next cell. (To use a

different operator—such as * to multiply—

type the operator before you click the next

cell.) AppleWorks inserts the cell reference

at the insertion point in the formula.

AppleWorks is preset to calculate formulas automatically each time you

confirm an entry in a cell. To turn automatic calculation on or off, choose

Auto Calc from the Calculate menu. When Auto Calc is on, you see a

a cell range Drag to select the range that you want to

refer to. The reference to the cell range

appears at the insertion point in the

formula. Then enclose the range in

parentheses.

Or type the addresses of the cell at the

upper left of the range and the cell at the

lower right with two dots between them

and enclose the range in parentheses.

Chapter 8: Database

This chapter describes how to design an AppleWorks database document to

help you manage information. AppleWorks makes it easy for you to create a

database, enter your data, format it in different layouts, and present custom

reports. Once a database contains records, you can search through and sort

them, change the data they contain, and design and print a report of some or

all of the data.

All database features, including procedures, buttons, and troubleshooting,

are described completely in onscreen Help.

When to use a database

Use a database to:

1maintain address lists, and then print names and addresses onto labels,

form letters, and personalized notices

1maintain customer lists for automated mass mailings, or information

about guests and vendors for parties and events

1create attractive invoices and reports

1create lists you need to sort, such as bibliographies for school papers

1catalog recordings, stamps, and other collections

Database basics

If you have not previously worked with AppleWorks database documents,

take a few minutes to read about some general database concepts, the basics

of setting up a database, and entering information.

8-2 AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual

What’s a database?

A database is a collection of related information, or data, which you can sort,

search through, and print as needed. Using a database, you can organize and

analyze information in various ways so that you understand its significance.

These are the elements that make up a database.

Using Browse, List, Find, and Layout modes

In AppleWorks there are four modes in which to work with a database—

Browse, List, Find, and Layout. You select a mode using the corresponding

command in the Layout menu.

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

In the Help index,* see:

Creating a database document

Note You can’t create a database document within another document.

To create a database document when AppleWorks is running, choose New

from the File menu. In the New Document dialog box, select Database, and

then click OK.

Or, click on the Default button bar. (If you don’t see the button bar,

choose Show Button Bar from the Window menu.)

When you open a new database document, you begin by defining fields. The

field definition consists of the field name, field type (such as text or number),

and other options. Once you have defined the fields, you make new records

and enter values (data) in the fields.

Example: Creating a simple database

In this section, you set up an example database with two fields and three

records.

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

In Find mode, you search for specific

records to work with In Layout mode, you design the way you want the data to

appear when viewed or printed

To close the database document, choose Close from the File menu.

Designing a database

Before you create a database, it’s a good idea to plan your database design

on paper, to reduce the time and effort of redesigning. When planning your

database, decide:

1what you want the database to accomplish

1which fields the database will contain and the type of data they’ll hold

1what each record in the database will represent (for example, an employee

or an invoice)

1how the database can help you work more efficiently, by using options

such as formulas and automatic data entry

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

In the Help index,* see:

Eplanning databases

Identify fields that are

automatic entries or the

results of calculations

List the fields each record

will hold

Database 8-7

Tip When you design a database that holds names and addresses, you can

start quickly by using the Address List Assistant, and then changing the

database as needed. For more information about using Assistants, see “Using

an Assistant” on page 2-4.

Defining database fields

Once you plan the design of a database, the next step is to define the fields

to store the data. When you define a field, you give it a name and then select

a field type to determine what kind of data (for example, numbers or a date)

can be stored in the field. When you open a new database document, you see

the Define Database Fields dialog box, where you set up database fields.

Note You can also change the appearance of text and the format of numbers,

dates, and times for existing fields. For more information, see “Changing the

appearance of data” on page 8-34.

Adding fields to an existing database

To add fields to an existing document, choose Define Fields from the Layout

menu. When you create new fields, AppleWorks automatically adds them to

the layout you have chosen.

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

Assigning field types

To assign a field type to a field, choose from the Field Type pop-up menu in

the Define Database Fields dialog box. Field types affect the way you enter

and use your data.

Tip Use a text field (or a field that holds text, such as a pop-up menu) for

postal codes so you can sort addresses by postal code number. If the postal

code is a number field, AppleWorks ignores leading zeros. As text, the codes

are sorted properly and retain any leading zeros.

Important The examples in this documentation are based on U.S.

conventions and are shown in U.S. formats. In English-speaking countries

other than the United States, numbers, dates, times, functions, formulas, and

calculations might be formatted differently. For example, in the U.S.,

periods act as decimal points. In other countries, commas might be used as

decimal points.

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

Defining calculation and summary fields

You define a field type as a calculation or summary field when you want the

value in the field to be the result of a formula. A formula can include values

from one or more other fields in the database, operators, functions, and

constant values.

For example, suppose you have a database that contains two number fields,

Qty Sold and Price, and one calculation field, Total. You can set up a formula

in the calculation field to multiply the values in the two number fields. Then,

each time you type values in the Qty Sold and Price fields, the formula

multiplies those values and displays the result in the Total field.

You enter a formula for a calculation or summary field just as you do for a

spreadsheet cell. (See “Working with formulas” on page 7-21.) The type of

operation a formula performs depends on the field type of the values it

calculates and whether the formula’s field type is calculation or summary.

1Use a calculation field to calculate a value from values in other fields in

the current record.

1Use a summary field to calculate a summary value using values from one

or more records in the database.

You immediately see the result for a calculation field in Browse mode and

List mode when you add records, and when you change values used in a

calculation.

Note To see the result for a summary field, you must create a summary part

in Layout mode, and insert the summary field. Then, sort the records and

switch to page view. For more information about summarizing data, see

“Presenting and summarizing data with parts” on page 8-36.

AppleWorks adds new records after all the records in your database. You can

move selected records between existing records by using drag and drop. (To

view records in a particular order, regardless of the order in which you

entered them in the database, you can sort them. See “Sorting records” on

page 8-22.)

Enter a name in a name field For names that you want to sort by the last word in the

field, type the first and last name (for example, Jane

Adams sorts by Adams). For names that end with a

title, type Option-space between the last name and the

title (for example, James Smith Jr. sorts by

Smith).

For names that you want to sort by the first word in the

field, type @ at the beginning of the field (for example,

@Treetop Books sorts by Treetop). You see the @

symbol only when you select the field.

Working with layouts

When you work with a database in Browse mode, you see the fields arranged

in a layout, an arrangement of fields, field labels, and other objects that

determine the way data looks when it’s displayed and printed.

AppleWorks automatically creates the standard layout you see in Browse

mode when you create a database. You can change the layout and create

additional layouts for the same data, each one for a different purpose.

Understanding layouts

You create and work with layouts in Layout mode. You can use all the

drawing tools and commands available in AppleWorks to design your

layouts. You don’t enter or edit data in Layout mode, so creating or changing

a layout has no effect on the data in the database.

Presenting and summarizing data with parts

You use database parts to present and summarize data on the screen and

when printed. A standard layout has one part—a body—which contains the

data from all current records. Other parts you can add are a header,

sub-summaries, grand summaries (leading and trailing), and a footer.

To insert a layout part, choose Layout from the Layout menu, choose Insert Part

from the Layout menu, and then select the part to add.

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

Summary fields are defined with

the formula =SUM(‘Contribution’)

Database 8-37

Keep the following points in mind:

1A header or footer part differs from a page header or footer. A page

header or footer is text or pictures that appears at the top or bottom of a

page in any AppleWorks document (except communications). It appears

on every page of a document, (unless you create a title page in a word

processing document using the Section command). A header or footer part

appears on every page of a database document.

To add a page header or footer to a database document, in Browse or List

mode, choose Insert Header or Insert Footer from the Format menu. (These

commands aren’t available in Layout mode.)

1To display or print summary data on separate pages, add a page break

before or after a sub-summary part. In Layout mode, choose Insert Part from

the Layout menu. In the Insert Part dialog box, select a summary part, and

then choose an option for a page break.

Copying summary data

You can copy data in summary fields when you’re in page view and when a

sub-summary, leading grand summary, or trailing grand summary exists. For

example, copy values from summary fields into a spreadsheet, and then

display a bar chart using those values.

To copy summary data, choose Browse from the Layout menu, then choose

Page View from the Window menu. Choose Copy Summaries from the Edit menu.

Open the application or document to hold the copied data, and then paste the

data (for example, select an area in the document and choose Paste from the

Pro or AppleWorks database document from the DIF format, the field names

are preserved.

Printing a database document

You print a database document in Browse, List, or Layout mode. In Browse

or List mode, the Print dialog box gives you the option of printing the current

record or all visible records.

Printing labels

You can print labels on continuous sheets or on individual sheets of label

stock. Before printing labels on label stock, make one or more trial printouts

on plain paper to make sure that the spacing is correct and all the text prints

within the label boundaries. You may have to make the fields in the layout

slightly smaller to fit within the label.

AppleWorks sets the layout margins automatically when you use a preset

Avery label layout. If you print custom labels on a laser printer, you must set

the layout margins yourself. For more information, see “Setting margins” on

page 3-17.

Closing up space when you print

When you print labels, unused spaces created by blank fields are closed up

and don’t print. When you print from any other layout, field data is preset to

print as it appears on the screen.

To change the layout of the data when it prints, choose Edit Layouts from the

Layout menu. Select a layout from the Current Layouts list, and then click

Modify. In the Layout Info dialog box, select the settings you want, and then

click OK. You can control the number of columns and close up unused spaces

to the left of or above fields. Your settings apply to the entire layout, and not

to just the selected fields.

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

So that space closes as you intended, make sure that:

1fields don’t touch each other

1you align fields first (select the objects to align and choose Align Objects

from the Arrange menu)

1fields to close up are the exact same size

Chapter 9: Beyond the basics

Use the features covered in this chapter to help you make the most of

AppleWorks. With these features, you can combine different document

types, make presentations, automate the way you work, create book marks in

areas of a document you want to return to, create links to a different

document, include other applications in your documents, and easily share

data with other documents and applications.

This chapter gives instructions for using links, styles, frames, master pages,

the slide show, QuickTime movies, mail merge, and macros. All features,

including procedures, buttons, and troubleshooting, are described

completely in onscreen Help.

Creating links

AppleWorks documents (except database and communications documents)

can be linked. When you plan to use an AppleWorks document onscreen or

on the Internet or World Wide Web, you can select an area of the document

and create a link. In AppleWorks, there are three types of links: book marks,

document links, and Uniform Resource Locator (URL) links.

To create a link, you select text, a spreadsheet cell, paint image, frame, or

object (such as a graphic object in a drawing), and then create the link. If a

selection has more than one link assigned to it, the last link assigned will be

the active link.

For more information about links, see the following sections or onscreen

Help.

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

Use To

Book marks Jump to a different area of the same document

Document links Jump to a link within the same document or to a different

document

URL links Link to other information on the Internet or World Wide Web

To create a book mark:

1. Select the text, object, cell, frame, or paint image in which to place the

book mark.

2. Choose Show Links Palette from the Window menu.

3. Choose Book Marks from the pop-up menu on the links palette.

4. If you want to create a folder for book marks, choose New Folder from the Special

menu on the links palette, type a name for the folder, and then click OK.

5. Choose New Book Mark from the Links menu on the links palette.

6. In the New Book Mark dialog box, type a name for the book mark (select a

folder from the pop-up menu, if you want), and then click OK.

To go to a book mark you created, see “Going to a specific link” on page 9-5.

Creating document links

You can create a document link from text, a spreadsheet cell, paint image,

frame, or object (such as a graphic object in a drawing) to a different

document.

For example, create a link from statistics in a financial report to the original data in

a spreadsheet. When other people view your report onscreen, they can also see

how you obtained your results by clicking the link to open the spreadsheet.

Note The following steps describe how to create a link from one document

to another or to another area in the same document. To create a link to a

URL, see “Linking Web pages” on page 11-6.

*Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from

the list and click Go To Topic.

6. To link to an area in a different document, click Choose Document, select the

document, and then click Open. From the Book Mark pop-up menu, choose the

name of a book mark in the selected document.

7. In the New Document Link dialog box, click OK.

To open a linked document (or go to a linked area in the same document),
