If
you were hoping for the end of the world to make your
organizational difficulties disappear, don't panic:
Microsoft Works 2000 gives you all the power you need to
run your home life. The integrated programs are easy to
install and give users a word processor, spreadsheet,
database, and address book--all for about 10 percent of
the cost of Office 2000.
The programs are much simpler to learn
how to use, primarily because they don't have
bewildering arrays of optional or rarely used features
users have to decipher. Common uses for this software
include entering phone numbers, tracking important dates
or financial data, and letter writing.
If you're used to using Office-level
applications, Works might take some getting used to,
like a new car that requires you to switch from
automatic to manual transmission. Both mechanisms work
fine, but the difference in operation is enough to make
a switch between them mildly challenging. Features
included in Works are minimal but useful, except in the
word processor, which is surprisingly powerful for the
price. One aspect of Works that assists in the
transition is the Task Launcher, a program that gathers
all the other applications together for you and offers a
handy way to organize your work!!
