Thanks for that info Daniel....I'll stay with Appleworks6 as long as I
stay with PPC. Of course one does need M$ to read .doc stuff.

Hi Kevin
You can actually make the fonts show up in the "actual font".
If you go to the Appleworks menu then to Preferences then to General.
Under "Topic" you need to change it to General too (if it doesn't go
there
straight away).
On the right hand side you'll see "Options". Tick the box for "Font
Menu In
Actual Font". Click OK
And there you go.
Fonts will now show up for real.
Just beware, if you have a lot of fonts, it can take a while to a)
read them
at the start of setting it up and b) when you go the Text - Font menu
Hope that helps.
Kind Regards
Daniel

I am still using Appleworks 6 on PPC macs. Lightening fast starting
up for word processing compared to M$Word. I would have liked to see
the list of fonts viewed in actuality though.

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which
difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

Yes, Appleworks will be sorely missed. We mostly use the
spreadsheet and drawing and painting functions. I doubt if it came
from outside Apple; I think it probably arose when someone at Apple
realised that they could combine the original MacPaint and MacDraw
with a word processor and the other functions into one program. The
problem was that even in doing that, they discarded very useful
features - for example MacDraw had layers, which could be "paint"
or "draw" layers with a range of options to collapse them to
produce the final view - a very powerful approach which I have not
come across in any current software.
The other interesting thing about ClarisWorks was that they made a
PC version - I used to use it at work where I did not have access
to a Mac. I do not think it made a big impression in the PC world,
however; even if the typical PC user could see its advantages, they
often had a pathological inhibition about buying anything created
by Apple.

feeling that Apple bought the original version from an outside
company, but later put a huge amount into later versions.
