For ClarisWorks 4.0 and 5.0 (or AppleWorks 5.0), Macintosh, this hands-on textbook gives self-paced, step-by-step guidance for learning word processing, drawing, spreadsheets, charts, and databases. This edition includes information on using style sheets, creating lists and outlines, formatting separate sections of a word processing file, and creating named report formats for a database. Screen illustrations show ClarisWorks 5.0 running on Mac OS 8. Where differences occur in Version 4.0 or System 7, special instructions are given. Dozens of ready-made files on the data disk get students quickly into the application they are learning. There are also files available for those who want to adapt the book for the Windows environment. The textbook includes planning activities, discussions, worksheets, and review questions. The supplemental set of 76 Reproduction Masters has worksheet masters and overheads of 482 figures from the book, including most ClarisWorks screens--enough material for a semester-long computer applications course. Also, a Lab Pack (including 10 texts, a Teacher's Guide with data disk, Reproduction Masters, Command Chart, and a pack of 25 command cards) is available at a discounted price that will save you 20%!
