1. Make a script to take a slide show presentation and turn it into a slide show for the web. Each document page could be web page. Have the script place a simple forwards, backwards and main page link at the bottom of each page.
   
   
2. Make a script to take a carefully crafted slide show presentation and turn it into an animated gif. I do a lot of work with animated gifs using AppleWorks as my image generator and "Gif Builder" as my work horse to knit my images together.
   
   

Check spelling as you type. Now available as beta version.

I would like to see a method for importing comma separated values into a database, particularly from an ASCII text file. Lloyd McLean 99.07.13.

A suggestion that came out of the mac.sci newsgroup: Would it be possible to write a script that would create a tangent at a defined point on a curve or join a curve and an arbitrary drawn line together at the tangent point? Simon Hayman 99.07.21

Yes, it is possible for AppleWorks to multiply two matrices together, find the inverse of a matrix and any other matrix operations. If such a script is desired, let us know, and remind us of the fundamentals to achieve these calculations. 99.07.01.

Simple creation of PostIt Note like text frames for commenting on underlying document text. Needs some method to hide prior to printing. Apple's AppleWorks discussion forum on 99.03.24.

Read and compose email within AppleWorks.

Transfer record data from AppleWorks to FileMaker. Inspired by Bobby Wilder 99.02.15

How about one that prints everything open and then quits. (Steve Gandy 99.04.20)

containing extra drawing tools

Convert outlines to tree diagram. Requested by David Rogers.

I am especially interested in converting outlines to tree diagram because of the possible uses in concept mapping in schools. (Jenny Burson 990508)

Main Point would be Main Heading and sub point would be sub headings on slide. Every main point would create a new slide. (Bryan VonDeylen 990508)

Works with styles. Requested by Anthony Helm.

...can I look for every occurrence of the word "Jones" where the text is a certain shade of blue, uses a specific font, is bold, and is between pages 5 and 11? I can envision what this Find would look like, (very similar to the Find File in Sherlock where I can add attributes until I have all the attributes I'm seeking) (Russ Conte 99.05.10)

(Jenny Burson 990508)

Find?Replace enhancement to include special formats. I really want to be able to do is scan a word-processed document and replace eg every occurence of H2O with the correct version (ie the "2" as "inferior" or "subscript"). (Mark 990522)

More flexible calendar assistant. eg varied box sizes.

using Mac OS 8.5.

Requested by James Clegg.

Is anyone handling the "Wildcard Search & Replace" request? - because if not then I might have a crack at that myself. Are there any special requests for what wild card options should be required? (Neil Taylor 99.05.25)

Instead of AppleWorks sectioning which requires you to prepare in advance how you want to section break (which is difficult for our secretaries), select Section Break and have the AppleScript walk you through what you want (page break/line break, etc). (Bryan VonDeylen 990508)

I would like to be able to enter numbers (ie students ID numbers) that begin with zeroes in a SS cell without the preceeding zeroes being dropped off. In the OLD gs/IIe Appleworks you could specify numbers to be treated as text in a SS. (Lakeside Middle School (990504)

Multiple sheets in a worksheet or external references to other AW sheets (as EXCEL can do). (Gualtiero Messora 990501)
