Apple
Works 6 for
Dummies,
by Bob Levitus, Dennis Cohen
Book Description
:
Now bundled with the hot
new iBook as well as with the popular iMac,
AppleWorks is becoming a staple of Mac
households and businesses worldwide. Well-known
for his ability to translate technical jargon
into usable advice, Bob LeVitus shows Mac lovers
how to take full advantage of all the components
in the suite, including word processing,
spreadsheet, database, graphics, and
presentation
software.
More:
Macs are fun--they even
smile--but, before long, you'll find yourself
merrily mousing away on your Mac when the dark
strains of required productivity become audible.
What to do? AppleWorks most likely includes the
bit of software you need to get your work done,
and AppleWorks 6 for Dummies can show you how to
use that suite of applications in no time at
all. Before you know it, you'll be back to
listening to MP3s while you surf the Internet.
In this book, a couple
of Mac experts (including Mac demigod Bob
LeVitus) explain how to use the productivity
applications that make up AppleWorks, getting
straight to the point without sounding dry or
dull. Whether you're interested in using the
index to locate the authors' coverage of how to
group objects in AppleWorks' paint program, or
in following along as they reveal the
intricacies of spreadsheet design, you'll be
pleased by what you find here. The authors have
written lots of easy-to-follow procedures, which
include information on what you should do and
what you should see as a result, and sprinkled
their chapters with solid tips. These tips
explain how to create image collections, for
example, and how to avoid common pitfalls in
database design. --David Wall
Topics covered: How to
use the applications in AppleWorks 6, including
the word processor, spreadsheet, database,
graphics tools, and Internet applications.
Adequate attention goes to the programs'
extensive integration, as well as to utility
operations, such as printing and file
management.

AppleWorks
6: The Missing Manual
by Jim Elferdink, David Reynolds
Book Description:
For Mac and Windows users who prefer an
alternative to the cost, bloat, and complexity
of Microsoft Office, AppleWorks is the stealth
office suite. Hugely popular in classrooms,
colleges, and small offices, AppleWorks includes
word processing, drafting, painting, database,
Web-page creation, spreadsheet, and (in version
6) slide-show functions in a single, beautifully
integrated application.
Every year, however, AppleWorks arrives in
the hands of four million Apple iMac and iBook
buyers. There it sits on the hard drive, a
masterpiece of smooth integration and clever
interface design, accompanied by hundreds of
templates, clip art libraries, and fonts--but
without a single page of written
documentation.
AppleWorks 6: the Missing Manual treats
AppleWorks as the serious productivity tool it
is. Authors Jim Elferdink and David Reynolds
guide the reader through both the basics and the
hidden talents of the new AppleWorks version,
placing special emphasis on version 6's enhanced
word processing, Internet, and presentation
features.
Because the book isn't an official Apple
publication, the authors are free to acknowledge
the program's weaknesses-and to offer
workarounds. And because the book is a Missing
Manual title, it's rich with examples and
step-by-step tutorials. For the spreadsheet and
database user, the book includes Appendixes that
cover the built-in calculation functions, one by
one, complete with examples. AppleWorks 6: The
Missing Manual, in fact, is as smoothly put
together as AppleWorks itself.

Dan
Henderson
Book Description
Nowadays, many companies
buy software suites for their employees-and
expect them to gain at least a working knowledge
of all the applications bundled as part of the
package. Microsoft Office 98 for Macintosh:
Visual QuickStart Guide is the most
cost-effective, relevant solution for these new
users. As with all the Visual QuickStart Guides,

Microsoft Office for Macintosh: Visual
QuickStart Guide uses pictures and step-by-step
procedures to teach how to use and integrate
this Microsoft suite of Macintosh applications.
The book is divided into three broad sections.
In the preparatory chapters of the first part,
readers learn basic Macintosh procedures and
become familiar with the common techniques
shared by all four Office applications. In the
detailed chapters of the middle part, readers
learn each Office application in depth. In the
final part, readers find unique and useful tips
and techniques for combining the strengths of
the Office applications to solve common business
needs.
