WELCOME TO CLARISWORKS 4.0v2!
Thank you for choosing the ClarisWorks(R) 4.0 application. We're pleased to provide the ClarisWorks 4.0v2 Update, which has additional important features and addresses a few known issues with v1. Once you've installed the update, it will provide better Macintosh Drag and Drop support, backward file conversion, and more.
This document provides information about:
I. Installing the ClarisWorks 4.0v2 updates
II. Problems and issues addressed in v2
III. New features in ClarisWorks 4.0v2
I. INSTALLING THE CLARISWORKS 4.0v2 UPDATES
To update the ClarisWorks 4.0v1 product currently installed on your computer:
1. Put the ClarisWorks 4.0v2 Update disk in your floppy drive.
2. Double-click the ClarisWorks Update Installer icon.
3. Choose Easy Install (to install all of the new v2 components except the ClarisWorks File Converter) or Custom Install (if you want to specify which components to install), and then click Install.
Once installation is complete, the process of updating your existing ClarisWorks 4.0v1 application itself will begin.
4. Select the copy of the ClarisWorks 4.0v1 application to update and then click Update.
The installation process finishes and the application is updated.
Note: To install the ClarisWorks File Converter application, you must choose it from the Custom Install list. For more on using the ClarisWorks File Converter, see the document "Read Me - CW File Converter".
II. PROBLEMS AND ISSUES ADDRESSED IN V2
This v2 Updater addresses several issues from version 4.0v1:
* Mail Merge and Multiple Line Data. In v2, when a mail merge field contains multiple lines of text, the text now merges and prints correctly. (The text still displays as a single line on the screen.)
* Mail Merge and Sliding over Empty Fields. In v2, when there is an empty mail merge field on a line by itself, the following text moves up appropriately and prints correctly. (The text does not "slide" on the screen.)
* Rotating Library Images. In v1, some of the ReadyArt(TM) library images didn't rotate correctly. This was fixed in v2.
* Stationery Corrections. Minor changes were made to some of the stationery files.
* Address List Assistant. Minor changes were made to the Address List Assistant for better printing and on-screen display.
* New RTF filter.
* Faster Word Count
* Option left/right arrows in WP now correctly skips carriage returns and tabs (as it did in versions prior to 4.0).
* New Document dialog now displays more quickly, especially when there are many stationery files in the ClarisWorks Stationery folder.
* Word Services AppleEvent Support. In v2, it is easier to use applications that support the Word Services AppleEvent standard (such as some third party spelling or grammar checkers).
To enable the Word Services command in the Edit:Writing Tools menu of the ClarisWorks word processor:
1. Select Preferences from the Edit menu.
2. Select the Text icon.
3. Check the Word Services checkbox under General and click OK.
To select a Word Services application for use with ClarisWorks:
1. Open or create a word processing document.
2. Select Writing Tools from the Edit menu and then select Edit Word Services.
You see a dialog containing a list of all the Word Services applications for which ClarisWorks is currently configured.
3. Press the Add button.
You see a dialog listing the applications running on your Macintosh that use Word Services AppleEvent standard.
4. Select the one you want and click OK.
5. In the Word Services dialog, click OK.
A new menu item corresponding to the Word Services application you chose appears in the Writing Tools menu.
You can also use the Edit Word Services dialog to remove installed Word Services applications from the Writing Tools menu.
To use a Word Services application on a ClarisWorks word processing document, choose the appropriate menu item from the Writing Tools menu. This launches the Word Services application if is not already running. If you have text selected in the document, then the Word Services application checks the selection. Otherwise, the entire document is checked.
III.NEW FEATURES IN CLARISWORKS 4.0V2
In addition to resolving some known problems in v1, the v2 revision also adds new features, including:
* Macintosh Drag and Drop Support. In v2, users can use Macintosh Drag and Drop (that comes with System 7.5) to move text, graphic objects, and spreadsheet cells within ClarisWorks 4.0 documents, drag selections from one document to another, drag selections to other applications (including creating clipping files in the Finder).
* Backwards File Conversion to 2.0/2.1/3.0 Formats. You can use the new ClarisWorks File Converter application to save version 4.0 files in the format used by ClarisWorks versions 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0. For more on the File Converter, see the file "Read Me - CW File Converter".
* New filter for WordPerfect 3.1 for Macintosh.
