The Label menu in the Info window allows you to distinguish items in the Finder by color coding. Files opened and saved in AppleWorks 6 return to default Label setting of "None."
Symptom
Opening and saving a file in AppleWorks 6, the file loses its Label information, or status, in the Finder.
Solution
Relabel the file in the Finder after saving, or consider using folders to organize documents instead of Finder labels.
