Microsoft Works 6.0

Summary: Save your money for Microsoft Office
Review: I bought Works, because I was a freshman in college, and needed a wordprocessing program for papers, etc. It is good for people who will not share folders, and have their own printer. It's a hassel trying to save the Works document in WP or something else to print out on another printer, or even view it on another computer. It may seem like such a great deal for $44, but save up!! Honest! The Office Suite, Word, or Excel separate are better deals...

Summary: Data Base Enthusiast
Review: I like Works Data Base more than many other programs I use in my work.
I am constantly telling people to try it - but they prefer to flounder with Access. (That's like driving a semi-trailer when a small sedan is appropriate, in my opinion.)
I can manipulate the data base in many ways - and use if for book-keeping 3-4 large accounts.
I also use it for sorting our students and classes at a school, and for recording marks.
I find it very easy to use, and the only improvement I would like to see is an option to have more than 8 reports. (We have a school with ten classes - and I need 10 class reports!)
I think this data base should be advertised strongly and widely, in competition to others which are not so user friendly, and not so economical.

Summary: No PowerPoint or Publisher :-(
Review: No point getting this software. Yes word, spreadsheet, database are cool but there is no presentation application. Just would cost me another arm and leg to obtain PowerPoint. If this is ok for you now, fine but what about when you want to advance your skills to learn the basic Office programs other than spreadsheets, database, calendar ...??

Summary: Incompatibility
Review: The most disappointing thing about Microsoft Works is that it doesn't "work" well with other applications. For example, the database tool does not appear to be compatible with programs written in Visual Basic 6.0. It appears that I now need to buy Access as a stand-alone product, when I feel that Works should be as useable as Office with Access. Half-star rating.

Summary: Works 6.0 OK but not quite what I expected
Review: This is a bloated program that contains hundreds of features that most people will not use. Nevertheless, after spending several hours trying to figure it out, I am generally pleased with it. I previously used Works 4.0 (a truly great program, fast, simple, easy) but was forced to upgrade to Works 6.0 due to my new operating system (Windows 2000). The word processor (Word 2000) has a nice look and contains lots of good features when you finally figure it out. My initial impression of this product was unfavorable -- too many features, too complicated -- but I have warmed up to it and feel that our good buddies at Microsoft have done their best to provide a versatile product. It's not an easy program to learn, but if you have the patience to work your way through it, you will probably like it. Bloated but OKAY.
