Four files have been changed: MacWrite Pro 1.0v4 TableEditor 1.0v2 (ADDit) Claris XTND Bridge 2.0v2 Read Me (these Release Notes, 1.0v4) One new file has been added: ClarisWorks 1.0 Text Translator Please follow the enclosed UpdateMaker Read Me 1.0v4 for updating your files. INSTALLATION NOTES The installation process will leave some temporary files on your hard disk. These files are automatically removed by your Macintosh when you restart the computer. MACWRITE II If you are a MacWrite II user, you can choose to keep your copy of MacWrite II or not. MacWrite Pro will both open and save MacWrite II documents. However, if you have MacWrite II documents that you wish to keep in MacWrite II format, you may find it easier to use MacWrite II for ongoing editing. If you remove MacWrite II, you may also remove the MacWrite II Help and the MacWrite II Hyphenation files from your Claris folder. Note that you cannot double-click on a MacWrite II document and automatically launch MacWrite Pro; you must open those documents from within MacWrite Pro. OVERFLOW ALERT This symbol ( ) indicates that a frame has overflowed. This indicates that there is too much text within the current frame (causing it to "overflow" the frame). An alert will appear the first time you have overflowed a frame; the overflow symbol will be in the lower right corner of the frame. To eliminate the overflow symbol, increase the size of the frame or decrease the amount of text in the frame. NOTE: The overflow alert will appear only once for each time you start MacWrite Pro. The second time a frame is overflowed, there will be no alert, but the overflow box will appear in the bottom right hand corner again. PAGE SETUP MacWrite Pro will rescale frames when you change your Page Setup (for example, Portrait to Landscape or when switching between different printer drivers). Therefore, it is important to create a document using the driver for the printer you intend to print to. Otherwise, when you change drivers, all frames will rescale and it will usually require modification to return the document to its previous look. PRINTING For best results when printing to high resolution printers (300 dpi or greater), make sure that Fractional Character Widths is checked in Preferences. NOTE: Fractional Character Widths overrides Font Substitution in Page Setup. If you are using a non page 2 of 4

LaserWriter font, and want that font to be substituted for a LaserWriter (higher resolution) font, turn off Fractional Character Widths. ENVELOPE SETTINGS The following table shows the correct margin settings for printing envelopes.
