New versions of the documentation fix this error as of 5/92.
Page 2-25 of the ClarisWorks Handbook incorrectly states that you should name a stationery file "ClarisWorks <document type> Prefs" for it to open automatically when new documents are created. "Prefs" is incorrect. It should be "Options".
The correct names for Automatic Stationery files are:
ClarisWorks WP Options
ClarisWorks GR Options
ClarisWorks DB Options
ClarisWorks SS Options
ClarisWorks CM Options
Note: Saving a Macro file with the name ClarisWorks Macros will force ClarisWorks to automatically load these macros when it's first opened.
