Working with large files
Your computer sets aside a certain amount of memory for AppleWorks. If
you’re working on a paint document or other large document, using many
graphics, or working on multiple documents, AppleWorks may require more
memory than is available.
When you need to provide more memory for AppleWorks, you may see one
of these messages:
1
Not enough memory to complete this operation.
1
The document size has been reduced to fit the available memory.
For complete information on providing more memory, see onscreen Help
and the documentation that comes with your computer.
Changing the size of a painting
To change the size of a painting, choose Document from the Format menu. In
the Document dialog box, type values for Pixels Across and Pixels Down, and then
click OK.
Tip In a new paint document, 72 pixels equals 1 inch. (To change the number
of pixels per inch, see “Customizing resolution and depth” on page 6-15.)
Creating a preview of a paint document
You can create a preview image of a paint document, which is saved with the
document. The preview image is displayed when you choose Open from the
File menu and select the paint document in the list with Show Preview selected
(see “Opening a document” on page 2-10). You can also create a custom icon
of the paint image, which is displayed as the document icon on your desktop.
To create a preview image or custom icon for paint documents, choose
Preferences from the Edit menu. In the Preferences dialog box, choose General
from the Topic pop-up menu, and then select Create Preview or Create Custom Icon.
