= SUMMARY =

If you click once on the Address Book icon in the Microsoft Works Startup screen, the information in the Description area at the bottom states the following:

Store names, addresses, and telephone numbers, then quickly retrieve the information, and even paste it into a document. If you have a modem, Works can dial the telephone number for you.

This is partially incorrect.

= MORE INFORMATION =

This can be misleading because there is no option to dial a phone number from the Address Book document.

Do one of the following to dial a number from Works and connect to a modem:

  Create a Communications document.   From the Tools menu, choose Connection and type the phone number in the Dial Phone Number box.   From the Connection menu, choose Open Connection to connect to the modem. -or-   Create a Communications document.   From the Tools menu, choose Connection and type the phone number in the Dial Phone Number box.   From the Tools menu, choose Communications Options.   Select Open Connection Automatically. 

For more information about creating Communication documents, refer to Microsoft Works Help under the Question Mark in the Finder, or see pages 525-550 in Chapter 10 of the “Microsoft Works User’s Guide” for version 4.0.
