JMCCLOUD I still grieve the death of AppleWorks. iWork/Pages is not an adequate replacement. Also Pages fails the Mum test. My Mum finds it baffling and unusable but she had no problem with AppleWorks and has no problem with MS Office.

A. WIGMORE I downloaded this version as my Appleworks kept changing the font from the default, and I keep having to change it back again. The 6.2.9 was supposed to help for this, according to a comment I found on the web. It didn't: worse, a lot of the time it seems to have a delayed reaction to my typing. What do I do? I have a OSX 10.2.8.

STEVE PERRY Every time I cut and paste in world procession, this version -- and the older ones -- reverts the pasted material to Helvetica. Work around is easy enough, just select the material and change the font back, but it is annoying. Anybody know if this is gonna be fixed? Ever?

ANONYMOUS This is a general problem with OS X. Typing is delayed in Appleworks, REALbasic, Script Editor, Internet Explorer, AOL Instant Messanger (If you have 10.2 or higher and you're still using AOL Instant Messanger instead of iChat then you're a real stupid person), Mail, and some other useless or not well know programs. As far as I can tell, this problem comes from either having a Kensington keyboard driver installed or a setting messed up in OnyX or Apple Extended Keyboard PrefPane.

GEOFFF Updated just fine on my Pismo 500 with 1 gig of ram system 10.3 I first updated the system 10 version and then the system 9 vesrion on a different partion on the Power Book drive. Apple works is the only app in the system 9 partion. It's the program of choice, I really wish Apple would make it more powerfull as I hate even having Office on my Computer, but there are some cases where only MS will open a certain document. Appleworks will do about 80% of what needs to be done. For Data Base I like Filemaker and wish Apple had not split his off. If your having problems with the updater not finding Appleworks make sure you downloaded the US Canadian Version not the English International version a easy late night mistake. Again the beauty of Appleworks I messed uo, it uninstalled the English International version. I reloaded my original disk and got the right updater and everything just worked.

DRADRIENYOUELL Opening dotDoc WORDs, Geoff, Have you tried Nisus Writer Express, a Cocoa app ? Nisus open all those darned dotDoc attachments, I even forget I am in Word - I'm not, I'm in NWEx. We cannot get the v.629 AppleWorks in England, not so sad - NWEx is streets ahead in Panther. Pity about my old ApplewWorks files. ps Outside-USA suffers again. I did write to Apple Feedback. Why USA only? pps I really must tell David Pogue ;-) | |

ANONYMOUS Please help. I download the update file onto my desktop. Then I double click on the file. The file decompresses to: AppleWorks6.2.9Updater.smi. Then I double click on that and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

ANONYMOUS I have the same problem! I can't find any solution to this one. Let me know if you come up with a solution.

ANONYMOUS I had the same problem, but finally got it to work by putting the .smi file into the "Startup Items" folder in the "System Folder" (the one for Classic). Then I restarted Classic using the Classic System Preference (System Preferences >Classic>Start/Stop>Restart). After OS 9 started, the installer opened with the license window and everything proceeded smoothly from there. OS is 10.3.2.

1 WHO NOSE run Permissions Repair in Disk Utility, and then maybe run RebuildDesktopX as well. can't hurt, and both will likely help.

BRIAN CORK I think this program will really hit its stride and potential when it gets integrated with Apple's Mail and iCal. | |

JIMW This is Apple's "sleeper" product. It simply never seems to get the recognition it deserves. It can import in some fashion about 80% of what you have and export equally, if you know what you are doing. It is great value for the money and is one of the few products to have run a Microsoft product off the "store shelves" - Microsoft Works. For word processing, spreadsheet, database, presentation, publishing, and graphics needs, it will fulfill the real needs of most non-professional users and about half of the needs of the professional users. Where it does fill such needs it makes the purchase of expensive programs such as Office, Photoshop, Filemaker, Quark, unnecessary. If I had a bare bones budget for computers, I could probably get by with just an Emac and AppleWorks and do word processing, email, spreadsheets, drawing, painting, presentations, browsing, desktop publishing, databases, newsletters, taxes, bookkeeping etc. Another-words, I could run an entire business with just that one computer and that single program. Does it have limitations - most certainly. It is not as full featured as its more expensive cousins. Its database is flat file only, limited in size by memory and not easily scriptable. It does not support plugins for graphics. It is not always easy to move data between Appleworks and some of the other popular, more expensive products. Nevertheless it can be an inexpensive simple elegant solution for a multitude of tasks and and ideal resource for those with a limited budget, limited time to learn complex products, or both. I always keep it around and it has bailed me out of many a difficult situation where I did not have the correct tool or nothing else has worked.
