It can't be! I think it's included with every Mac that's sold. What I meant was, many users don't realize its full potential. Hell! I don't, and I've been playing with it for about 8 years now. Like I said in a previous e-mail. Everyone's too busy trying to learn how a program works, to see how the program works.
If you ever have some spare time, go to my web site and look at the Graphics Appearance section. I don't think there's very many AppleWorks gurus that can explain the mechanics behind them. For that matter, throw in the Office gurus too. I don't know if Microsoft put anything in their Help files to explain how to accomplish the transitions, but I know AppleWorks sure didn't. And I don't think you'll get any answers from seminars, universities or private tutors. I believe the main reason is, if anyone wants to edit graphics, they simply go out and purchase a graphics program. At least it sounds logical to me. I can't comment on your last statement since I'm using version 5 on OS 8.6. Maybe in the future. -- Tony LaFemina Major in Layout & Design Techniques Minor in Software Fundamentals http://hometown.aol.com/visitmacland/index.html mailto:remacs at optonline.net | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 28.
