Microsoft Works on the Apple Macintosh: The Perfect Complement to Microsoft’s New Software

Microsoft Works, the new integrated software package for the Apple Macintosh, is designed for first-time users, and small-business owners. Easy to learn and to use, Microsoft Works delivers a lot of computing power – without requiring a lot of computing expertise. This November, Microsoft Press will publish MICROSOFT WORKS, a complete guide to using this program’s word-processing, spreadsheet, database management, and communications capabilities to set up and manage a small business, and handle personal tasks as well. For each of Microsoft Works’ four modules, author Charles Rubin offers a general description, and explains how each is used. He explores the menus, and details the capabilities of every command. Next, Rubin shows readers how to perform a variety of tasks with Microsoft Works. Using one business and its owner as an illustration, his examples highlight Microsoft Works’ many features, as well as providing the reader with easily adaptable models for any small business system. Included is information on how to: * organize business records * prepare custom sales materials * set up an inventory system * analyze profits * download data from commercial information services, and much, much more. MICROSOFT WORKS is filled with handy information and insights that will help readers use this product more effectively. Rubin compares the capabilities of the word processor, spreadsheet, database, and communications software with other Macintosh programs that perform the same functions. The book offers a discussion of the program’s limitations, techniques for overcoming these limitations, and available enhancement products. An explanation on moving data between Microsoft Works and other programs is also included. In all, this book is the complete guide for unleashing the speed and power of Microsoft Works.
