Apple AppleWorks 5 : Mac OS - Manual (Page 271)

Chapter 11: AppleWorks and the Internet
With AppleWorks, you can open, view, and create documents that contain
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) on the Internet and the World Wide
Web (WWW, or Web). You can also create your own HTML files and place
them on the Internet and the Web as Web pages, to present information to
people using the Web.
This chapter describes how to use AppleWorks to set up your computer for
use with the Internet, create Web pages, and send and receive electronic mail
(email). Before you begin, you need to understand how to create and edit
documents. In particular, you should understand the information in
chapter 2, “Creating, opening, and printing documents,” chapter 4, “Text
(word processing),” and chapter 5, “Drawing.” You should also understand
“Using the button bar” on page 3-5, and “Editing links” on page 9-4.
All Internet features, including procedures, buttons, and troubleshooting, are
described completely in onscreen Help.
About the Internet and the Web
The Internet is a collection of computer networks that use a common set of
rules for exchanging information, called the transmission control protocol/
Internet protocol (TCP/IP). Using the Internet with your computer, you can
work with information that’s stored at other locations. For example, you can
read weather reports from around the world, send and receive electronic mail
(email), and attend a creative writing class from a remote site.
The Internet network was once limited to simple, text-only documents. With
the development of the Web, documents can now include graphics, various
text styles, and links (connections, or jumps, to areas of the same document,
or to other Web pages, applications, or servers on the Web). A document on
the Web is called a Web page, home page, or start page.
