Viewing library items
Choose a command from the library palette’s View menu to change the way
items are shown on the library palette.
Setting preferences
You can customize AppleWorks by setting options in the Preferences dialog
box. Some options you set apply to the current document only, and others
apply to new documents you create. To have settings take effect whenever
you create a new document, click Make Default in the Preferences dialog box.
Tip You can also set specific preferences in a document and save the
document as stationery that you can reuse. For more information on
stationery, see “Saving document formatting as templates (stationery)” on
page 2-12.
Choose Preferences from the Edit menu. In the Preferences dialog box, choose
a category (General, Text, Graphics, Spreadsheet, Palettes, or Communications) from
the Topic pop-up menu. Select options, and then click OK.
