INSTALLING THE CLARISWORKS 4.0V5 UPDATES
Before running the updater make sure all of your computer's System software extensions are turned off. To do this:
1.
Save all open files and quit all of the programs running on your computer.
2.
Hold down the Shift key on your keyboard.
3.
Choose Restart from the Special menu.
4.
Do not release the Shift key until the words "Welcome to Macintosh.  Extensions off." appear on your screen.

To update the ClarisWorks 4.0 (v1, v2, v3 or v4) product currently installed on your computer:
1.
Double-click the "ClarisWorks 4.0v5 Updater" installer icon.
2.
Read the Claris splash screen and click Okay
3.
Choose Easy Install (to update ClarisWorks and install all of the new v5 components except the ClarisWorks File Converter) or Custom Install (if you want to specify which components to update).
4.
Verify that the "Update Location" box in the lower left corner of the Updater window lists the correct location (disk and folder name) of the version of ClarisWorks which you wish to update. If you have multiple copies of ClarisWorks, click "Select Folder" and select the appropriate folder.

Note: If the updater does not find a folder that contains ClarisWorks, go back through the steps listed above to ensure that your Macintosh is running with the extensions turned off, then try running the Updater again.
5.
Click Update (or Install if you have selected a custom option that only installs files)

The updater will begin updating the application and installing updated files at the same time. Once the updater is finished, click Quit and you can begin using the updated version of ClarisWorks.

Note:
To install the ClarisWorks File Converter application, you must choose it from the Custom Install list. For more on using the ClarisWorks File Converter, see the document "Read Me - CW File Converter," which is installed into your ClarisWorks folder when running the ClarisWorks 4.0v5 Updater.

II.
PROBLEMS AND ISSUES ADDRESSED IN V5
This v5 Updater addresses several issues from previous versions:
• losing documents. In v4 and earlier versions, on Macintoshes with more than 48 MB of available system RAM, closing a ClarisWorks document would cause a crash on some machines This has been fixed in v5. 
• mporting Excel documents. In v4 and earlier versions, calculations in Excel spreadsheets
that contained numbers greater than 32767 imported as negative numbers in ClarisWorks. This was fixed in the latest version of the Excel translator provided with this update.
• everal stationery files have been updated to use 1997 dates where appropriate.

III.
PROBLEMS AND ISSUES ADDRESSED IN PREVIOUS RELEASES
This v5 updater also addresses all issues fixed in previous releases:
•
Mail Merge and Multiple Line Data.  In v4, when a mail merge field contains multiple lines of text, the text now merges and prints correctly. (The text still displays as a single line on the screen.)
•
Mail Merge and Sliding over Empty Fields.  In v4, when there is an empty mail merge field on a line by itself, the following text moves up appropriately and prints correctly. (The text does not "slide" on the screen.)
•
Rotating Library Images.  In v1, some of the ReadyArt™ library images didn't rotate correctly. This was fixed in v4.
•
Stationery Corrections.  Minor changes were made to some of the stationery files.
•
Address List Assistant.  Minor changes were made to the Address List Assistant for better printing and on-screen display.
•
New AppleWorks DB/SS and RTF filters.
•
Faster Word Count
•
Option left/right arrows in WP now correctly skips carriage returns and tabs (as it did in versions prior to 4.0).
•
New Document dialog now displays more quickly, especially when there are many stationery files in the ClarisWorks Stationery folder.
•
Word Services AppleEvent Support.  In v4, it is easier to use applications that support the Word Services AppleEvent standard (such as some third party spelling or grammar checkers).
