AppleWorks 6 has greatly improved capabilities for creating and modifying tables. You no longer need to use a spreadsheet frame to organize text in rows and columns.
Easy table creation:
With the new table frame tool, you simply draw a frame where you want to add a table and specify the number of rows and columns.
Flexible table structure:
You can easily add and delete table cells individually, in ranges, or in entire rows and columns. Cells can span multiple rows or columns. When you type in a cell, it can expand downward to accommodate the text.
Customizable table appearance:
You can customize the appearance of table elements such as lines and line segments, cells, rows, and columns. Within each table cell you can apply the full range of text-formatting options, including word-processing options such as outlines.
Embedded content:
You can embed pictures, sounds, or movies in table cells. You can also embed other types of frames (spreadsheet, painting, word-processing, and even other table frames) within cells. You can even link a cell's text or graphics to a Web site.
Easy export to the Web:
HTML export capability has been enhanced to allow table export. Even complex nested tables with graphics are converted to HTML accurately.
