Rubin provides information on how to use a printer with AppleWorks, and on running the program on a hard disk. The book also contains specific entries on using each of the AppleWorks modules: Database, spreadsheet, and word processing. In addition, multiple cross references invite quick access to additional information. In all, COMMAND PERFORMANCE: APPLEWORKS is a complete resource for novices as well as more experienced users of AppleWorks.
