ClarisWorks 5.0v2 Updater: Read Me for Macintosh

ClarisWorks 5.0v2 Updater Read Me

Thank you for investing in Claris software. From time to time, we produce maintenance releases of our software. We'll add minor functionality, correct defects, or respond to customer requests. We'd like to make it as convenient as possible for you to obtain these new versions and enjoy their benefits.

Updates, in contrast to upgrades, contain few changes from the previous version. Instead of distributing the full, revised application, we can provide just the files necessary to incorporate the new functionality and fixes. When you run the accompanying Updater, it will combine your original ClarisWorks 5.0v1 files with the new changes to create new ClarisWorks 5.0v2 files.

The following files are updated with this updater:

1. ClarisWorks 5.0v1 application
2. Read Me - ClarisWorks 5.0 - document that describes general release information
3. HTML Translator (located in the Claris Translators folder)
4. HTMLConfig Assistant (located in the ClarisWorks Assistants folder)

I. INSTALLING THE CLARISWORKS 5.0v2 UPDATE

Before running the updater make sure all of your computer's System software extensions are turned off. To do this:

1. Save all open files and quit all of the programs running on your computer.
2. Hold down the Shift key on your keyboard.
3. Choose Restart from the Special menu.
4. Do not release the Shift key until the words "Welcome to Macintosh. Extensions off." appear on your screen.

IMPORTANT
Please note that if you have renamed your ClarisWorks application file to something other than 'ClarisWorks', this updater will not be able to update a file used to change Internet settings. Please make sure that your ClarisWorks 5.0v1 application file is named 'ClarisWorks' to ensure all files are updated correctly.

The ClarisWorks 5.0v2 Updater will upgrade U.S. versions of 5.0v1 to the current U.S. release, 5.0v2. This Updater WILL NOT update any international versions of ClarisWorks.

To update the ClarisWorks 5.0v1 product currently installed on your computer:

1. Double-click the "ClarisWorks 5.0v2 Updater" installer icon.
2. Read the Claris splash screen and click OK.
3. The ClarisWorks 5.0v2 installer will install the updater file on your hard disk and automatically launch it. The updater will search your hard disk for eligible files for updating. Note: Only ClarisWorks 5.0v1 may be updated using this updater. Earlier versions are not supported by this updater.
4. Click Update. The updater will begin updating the selected 5.0v1 application. Once the updater is finished, the original 5.0v1 file is moved to the trash. Then click OK to quit and you can begin using the updated version of ClarisWorks.

II. Problems and Issues Addressed in 5.0v2

The ClarisWorks 5.0v2 Update corrects several minor problems with the initial release of ClarisWorks 5.0.

• In 5.0v1, the Microsoft Word 6 translator ("MS Word 6 Mac MacLink would not appear in the list of available translators in the Open or Save As dialog boxes if Microsoft Word 6 was installed on the computer. It will now appear in all cases.
• Spaces that have been formatted with the underline style will now print correctly in all cases.
• Curly quotes now appear correctly after section and page breaks.
• Outline styles can now be imported correctly when overwriting an existing style.
• Custom indents can now be applied correctly when editing an outline style.
• In 5.0v1, using the Print button from the Button Bar to print a spreadsheet would cause the cell grid, row, and column headings to be printed even if these options were turned off in the Display dialog box. Using the Print button now prints the file correctly as it looks on the screen.
• Documents can now be saved when ClarisWorks is run from a locked or read-only volume.
• When using a third-party Word Services-compatible spell checker, corrections are no longer misapplied to text on the previous line.
• 5.0v2 corrects a conflict with Spell Catcher which caused the scroll bars to disappear and the document unable to edit after Spell Catcher was run.
• Double-clicking on a file icon, when there are two similarly named files in the same folder, now opens the correct file.
• In 5.0v1, repeated copying and pasting of graphics within word processing files would sometimes result in insufficient memory alerts. This is corrected in 5.0v2.
• The Register ClarisWorks Assistant no longer runs automatically when the application is first launched.
• The combined 68K/PowerPC ("Fat") version of the application requires about
  450K less memory than it did in 5.0v1.
• In 5.0v1 setting page numbering to begin with 0 would in some cases cause improper page ranges to be printed, and it was not possible to start a print job with the page numbered 1. 5.0v2 corrects these problems.
