AppleWorks still has this 'publish/subscribe' feature which is similar to

can get some of the benefits. I am certain most
ClarisWorks/Appleworks users have no idea how powerful this feature
is. The weird nomenclature does not help.
AppleWorks isn't the only thing out there the supports
Publish/Subscribe. I'm a hard core FrameMaker user and it supports
P/S, right up to the current version. And it's a really nice way to
manage graphics in your documents if you can get the players on side
and educated to use it. I tried to sell the idea of using it in a
large corporate client's shop and it didn't fly. They were not
disciplined enough. But if you use it as it was designed, and play by
the rules, it's a very cool technology. Can save you a lot of manual
effort.
