3. Go View ... Show Rulers. AppleWorks 6 - Format .. Rulers.. Show Rulers. 4. Use the line tool 5. Draw a line across the page at the 5.25" mark on the vertical ruler. The sole purpose of these lines is to give you a guide to the edges of your quadrants. We will remove them when we are done. 6. Select a picture from your clip art collection. Go File ... Insert. Or use Copy ... Paste. Use the Arrow tool to drag the picture to the upper left area as shown. You will notice that the picture needs to be reoriented and probably resized to fit the area. |
