Chapter 5: Drawing
This chapter describes what you can do with the AppleWorks drawing tools.
All draw features, including procedures, shortcuts, and troubleshooting, are
described completely in onscreen Help.
When to use a drawing
Use a drawing whenever you want to create simple shapes, such as
rectangles, circles, lines, and polygons. You can combine these simple
shapes to create designs—such as a map or a quick sketch—in any type of
document except a communications document. You don’t need to create a
frame first.
Consider using a draw document for large drawings or for designing or
laying out a page. For example, you can:
1
create layouts for newsletters, brochures, and announcements
1
design a logo or letterhead
1
create professional-looking forms, such as invoices and project planning
sheets
1
design a border or background and create a master page to place the
border or background on every page of a presentation
1
make flowcharts, or seating and organizational charts
1
illustrate floor plans and furniture arrangements
Drawing basics
You use the same tools and commands any time you work with the drawing
tools.
Combine lines, text frames, and ready-made
pictures to create a simple map
