Follow these steps to change the Clippings cache size:
1. Open AppleWorks.
2. If the Clippings window is not open, choose Show Clippings from the File menu; the Clippings window appears.
3. Control-click in the Clippings window to open the contextual menu; choose Clippings Settings from the menu.
4. In the Clippings Settings window (see Figure 1), set the cache size to a new value.
Figure 1 Clippings Settings window
Set the cache size to 0 if you do not want any clippings data cached.
Note: The cache size setting only limits the size of the folder after quitting AppleWorks, and does not prevent AppleWorks from storing clippings data in the cache while running.
The Clippings cache is used to store downloaded Web clippings files. Cached clippings can be retrieved instantly, which increases performance. Decreasing the cache size can increase how often clippings must be downloaded again. If the Clippings cache is set to 0 MB, clippings are downloaded each time they are used.
Macintosh Manager administrators may choose to set the Clippings cache on workstations to affect performance or hard disk usage/storage. This is particularly true with AppleWorks 6.1.x, which stores the cache within a user's documents folder.
