6 I think that those of you with an ImageWriter II <
:printer will especially enjoy this disk. There are a few >
<related files from Frank Lowney who shows you how to change >
<the Imagewriter section of the SEG.PR file so when you do a >
<Control-B to send "bold" you instead send an Escape so that =
;the printer is alerted for printer commands. Then you can <
:send any command you'd like including color and mousetext ?
=characters. I've been playing with this for a few weeks and 9
7am really having fun ( there must be some advantage to <
:running TAWUG - getting first crack at the templates). I <
:just finished doing a workshop called "Beyond AppleWorks" ;
9where I showed the use of macros, PROSEL, and AppleWorks 9
7related software. My handout was done using colors to >
<highlight points and mousetext in various areas. It really =
surprised the participants to see what AppleWorks can do.
; I have just begun to play around with PRINTRIX, which :
8was released in the middle of June. This is a "desktop =
;publishing" program that uses AppleWorks files (as well as 9
7several other word processor programs) to add fonts, 2 9
7column printouts, and other goodies to your AppleWorks >
<printouts. I will try to have a full review of the program >
<for you in the July/August issue of
Home and School Works
as well as the next template disk.
9 For all of you who teach AppleWorks to students and 5
3others, I just received a set of books from Arthur <
:Luehrmann. He is the author of "Hands On BASIC" and this ;
9set is called AppleWorks A Hands-on guide. Each book is 8
6written for each area of AppleWorks, word processing, ?
=database, and spreadsheet. This is a workbook that students :
8will use (along with a data disk) to learn AppleWorks. <
:Again, I have just started to look these 3 books over and ;
9will write a full review for the next template disk. It ;
9appears to be a very simplistic approach - maybe what is $
needed for high school students.
< One other bit of news for this disk, I learned earlier =
;from Chuck Newby, our regional rep in San Diego, that Mark 9
7Simonsen, of the Software Touch (AutoWorks, FontWorks, 7
5Program Writer), has purchased Beagle Bros. but that ;
9Software Touch programs will continue to be supported as 8
6usual. It will be interesting to see how MacroWorks, =
;AutoWorks and Super MacroWorks will be merged. I upgraded =
;to SuperMacroWorks based on this information and have just 7
5started to become familiar with this program. (I am <
:certainly trying to learn a lot of new stuff lately). So 9
far I still like the power and simplicity of AutoWorks.
< That's all for this month. Send me your templates and >
<let me know how you're using AppleWorks. Additionally, let 3
me know how I can make TAWUG work better for you.
