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.
