Creating a Hotlist in AppleWorks

Creating a HotList in AppleWorks

1. Open an AppleWorks Word Processing document.
2. Title your page - something interesting like Don’t Know What to Do Tomorrow Lesson Plans or Cool Stuff I Want to Save Hotlist.
3. Click on File, then Save As…
4. Save this list to your floppy disk.

5. On your page, type the text for the link - it can be

the name of the website (such as World Flag Database)
or a phrase created by you to identify the site (such as Look Up a Flag)
or a question that can be answered by going to this website (How are the flags of Canada and Great Britain alike?)

6.    Select the word(s) you want to become the link to a website.
7.    Click on URL Link icon on the Button Bar. A window will pop up.
8.   Enter the url (the address) of the site (http://www.flags.net/)

9. When you click OK, you’ll return to your page. Notice your text is now in bright blue, which indicates it is a hot link - it will take you to the webpage.

10. Save your page:
File and Save
Or
Open Apple + S

11. Tomorrow, you can access your Hotlist by inserting your floppy disk, double clicking the floppy icon, and double clicking on your hotlist file.

Copy a URL

1. Click once on the url (anywhere on the Location: box). The url should be highlighted.
2.. Hold down the Open Apple key (lower left on your keyboard) and press the C key (c is for copy).

3. Go back to your Hotlist page. Type in the name of the website.

4. Click on URL Link icon on the Button Bar.

5. Press Open Apple and the V key (v is for paste) and your address will appear in the box. This really helps eliminate typing errors!
