Creating and editing custom buttons

Custom buttons reduce tasks, such as opening a file or checking the spelling
of a document, to a single step. You can create a custom button to run a
sequence of actions, and then add that button to the button bar. For more
information, see “Using the button bar” on page 3-5.

AppleWorks is preset to show the button bar at the top of the document
window (below the menu bar). If you can’t see the button bar, choose Show
Button Bar from the Window menu.

To create a new button, choose New Button from the

menu on the button bar.

(If you don’t see the button bar, choose Show Button Bar from the Window
menu.) You see the New Button dialog box.
