i just took a course through the Internet..Local Community colleges offer online courses through something called "ED2GO"..
(Taking these courses do not qualify you for student discounts on Apple Merchandise..i tried !)
The course i took was named: "Introduction to Appleworks 6." find it at ed2go.com.
.I had to pay for the course. But it was well worth it for me.
I learned most of what i knew about AW,prior to taking the course, by the 'hit and miss method',.as well as coming to AWUG and doing my own searches..
Taking this course,however gave me some real concrete formulas for using the spreadsheets, help in creating databases..and Presentations.
I have such a high regard for the potential of AW now
.It really is a powerful program..and i believe more than adequate for whatever most of us may need from this type of Program.
AW was preinstalled on my ibook G4. I feel no need for any other Program..
AW is very fine.
hope this helps people.
This User Group is very fine also..Answers can be found here..more than from any other User Group pertaining to AW.Even Apple Groups.
( In My Opinion.)
cheers
thank you all
