Clearing Recent Items can improve AppleWorks performance

Does AppleWorks seem to be getting slower the longer you use it?

If so, try deleting the aliases (Mac) or shortcut files (Windows) in the Recent Items folder:

1. Locate the Recent Items folder:

   Mac OS X:
   /Users/username/Documents/AppleWorks User Data/Starting Points/Recent Items/

   Windows:
   C:\Douments and Settings\username\My Documents\AppleWorks User Data\Starting Points\Recent Items\

2. Drag the alias or shortcut files from that folder to the Trash or Recycle Bin.

If the Recent Items menu is not showing the most recent items, click here.
