Apple AppleWorks 5 : Mac OS - Manual (Page 179)

Spreadsheet 7-33
Choose Show Tools from the Window menu to display the tool panel, then try
some of the following techniques using the fill and pen palettes. (For
information on using the pen and fill palettes, see “Changing lines, borders,
colors, patterns, and textures” on page 5-9.) The effect you achieve varies with
the type of chart. Feel free to experiment. If you don’t like the results, use Undo
in the Edit menu or Revert in the File menu, or delete the chart and make a new
one.
Note To change the appearance of chart elements in one step, select the
element and apply a style. For information on applying styles or creating
your own, see “Using styles” on page 9-5.
Adding pictures or a text frame
AppleWorks provides you with several methods for adding pictures to a
spreadsheet. You can also add text frames to create special effects. Pictures
or text frames that you add to a spreadsheet are objects, and can be moved
and manipulated just as other objects can. See “What are objects?” on
page 5-3 for more information about objects.
