| AppleWorks Order holding me up against deadline!
Last Thursday, I ordered AppleWorks - Educational (I couldn't just walk into the store and buy it - despite the fact that it's 4 minutes from my house) As of Tuesday I haven't recieved it. Sure, It'll take a while - but the thing was sent FedEx ground - and I got an invoice for AppleWorks via USPS on Monday. Wouldn't it have made more sense to send AppleWorks via USPS, so that I could have gotten it *with* the Invoice? That said, I'm running up against a deadline on April 3. I've got a 20 page report to do - I did 2 pages on my PC so I've got 18 pages left... and I don't have a word processor. Essentially, this order is holding me up - and, "Casual Piracy" be damned, if I have to beg/borrow a copy of a word processor - any word processor - from a mac using friend, I will. Also, why the hell does AppleWorks not support spellchecking as you type, when Mail.app does - heck, I think spellchecking as you type is built into the Aqua APIs if I'm not mistaken. Brian.

didn't the old CDs that came with iMacs and Performas and the like have appleworks on it? You could install that and update online... Or jst use it in classic for now. Textedit is pretty cool too. If you're in a jam, try it. there are numerous packages that will let you try out their software for a demo period before paying. check versiontracker. I think OmniGroup has a decent WP. OR.... take your iPod to CompUSA and copy Word for X.....  |

I got my Mac - my first mac - last friday. It didn't come with AppleWorks, cause it's a G4 PowerMac... and I don't have (or want, or need) an iPod. The "toy" is too expensive. So, neither of those suggestions are really going to help much.

I would, but this is my senior thesis. I tried AbiWord but I couldn't get it to work - furthermore when I tried AbiWord for the PC it messed up on Centering. It wouldn't be so bad, I just need three things: Spellcheck. Headers, Footers, and Footnotes OSX Nativity (I'm having trouble getting my printer to work in Classic.)
