About the New Features

The following paragraphs describe the new features of the enhanced AppleWorks and the instructions for using them. Please read this section very thoroughly.

More Word-Processor Lines and Database Records

With sufficient memory, the maximum number of Word Processor lines available with the unenhanced AppleWorks 2.0 is limited to 7,250; the maximum number of data base records is 6,350. The enhanced version expands the maximum number to just over 22,600 apiece.

The enhanced AppleWorks, when RamKeeper with a GS memory card is installed, automatically sets the number of lines and records to the maximum (22,600).

Clipboard Expansion

The standard AppleWorks clipboard (2.0) is limited to only 255 lines of information. The enhanced AppleWorks clipboard expansion increases the clipboard size for the Word Processor and Database functions to 2,042 lines. Only clipboard activities within and originating from the Spreadsheet function remain limited to 250 lines.

Printer Buffer Option

The Apple IIGS has a built-in print buffer which can be activated from the Apple IIGS Control-Panel menu. You may select the “On” setting from the Printer Buffer option but the buffer will be functional only if you have selected it from the Control Panel option. If you’d like to know more about the internal printer buffer, please refer to your Apple IIGS Owner’s Guide.

Buffer Size Option

The Buffer—size option of the Getting Started

options menu affects the size of only the Apple IIGS’ internal printer buffer.
