Macs are fun–they even smile–but, before long, you’ll find yourself merrily mousing away on your Mac when the dark strains of required productivity become audible. What to do? AppleWorks most likely includes the bit of software you need to get your work done, and AppleWorks 6 for Dummies can show you how to use that suite of applications in no time at all. Before you know it, you’ll be back to listening to MP3s while you surf the Internet.
In this book, a couple of Mac experts (including Mac demigod Bob LeVitus) explain how to use the productivity applications that make up AppleWorks, getting straight to the point without sounding dry or dull. Whether you’re interested in using the index to locate the authors’ coverage of how to group objects in AppleWorks’ paint program, or in following along as they reveal the intricacies of spreadsheet design, you’ll be pleased by what you find here. The authors have written lots of easy-to-follow procedures, which include information on what you should do and what you should see as a result, and sprinkled their chapters with solid tips. These tips explain how to create image collections, for example, and how to avoid common pitfalls in database design. –David Wall

Bob LeVitus & Dennis Cohen are Mac legions. AppleWorks 6 is one of the last great Apple programs aimed at people who just want to get a job done. Those lucky enough to get a G-4 iBook will have this program on it. Like an old Chevy Caprice it will take most people where they want to go and last much longer then Apple & Steve Jobs wanted it to. This book along with Todd Stauffer & Dennis Cohen’s Apple PowerBook and iBook Digital Field Guide will allow most to last beyond the time Apple runs out of cats.

This book really is for dummies. It explains Appleworks 6 well, and if you’re new to Appleworks in general or if you are only familiar with Appleworks 5, this is definitely the book for you.

Appleworks 6 for dummies is great. Apple has manuals stored in Appleworks 6 but they get in the way of what you are trying to do. Having the book handy makes it a great asset for any Appleworks 6 owner. Easy step by step instructions.
Great read and a must have help book.
