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.
