Help!!!! 3 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I purchased this book because there is no documentation out there anywhere for Works 2005 and I thought, "This might work!" This is a helpful book but Works has changed some since the 2005 verion so in some cases not helpful at all. For those who use the new version of Works, it would probably be extremely useful. My main complaint is why isn't there anything out there to help me with works suite 2005?

Editorial Review:

Congratulations! Instead of blowing several hundred bucks on the biggest and most muscle-bound word processor, database program, spreadsheet program, graphics, and communications software you can find, you're using Microsoft Works 2000 – a program that can do probably everything you need for a lot less trouble and money.

Now it's time to stretch out your fingers and get ready to put this software to work. This step-by-step guide is for those people who

• Want to learn about their software without being bored silly
• Feel as though there should be a manual to explain the software manual
• Actually want to get some work done. Soon. Like today.
• Don't want to wade through a lot of technical gibberish/
• Don't think the way computer software engineers seem to think.

This book describes how to use all the programs of Microsoft Works 2000, separately and together, plus some introductory things on Windows, disks, and other basics. In this book, you'll explore the following topics and more:

• Window basics (opening, closing, and painting them shut)
• Word processing (like food processing, only messier)
• Spreadsheets (for soft, comfortable naps on your spreadbed)
• Databases (for storing all your baseless data)
• Graphics (for charting uncharted waters and general doodling)
• Calendarification, Calendarizing? (Using a calendar program)
• Web browsing (for schmoozing the Internet's World Wide Web)
• Newsgroups (for ranting about your pet peeves)
• E-mail (for sending and receiving messages and files)
• "Mail merge" of letters, envelopes, and labels (for doing your very own junk mail)

Unlike software manuals, this book doesn't have to deliver a positive message about the software, so it doesn't breathlessly try to show you everything you could possibly do. Nor does it describe, as a manual does, every button and command. Instead, it focuses on the everyday things you have to do, gives you some background, points you toward shortcuts, and steers you around some of the stuff you probably don't need.

Is this book for Works 4 or Word 4 ???- See Synopsis wording 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Please check the wording of your Synopsis. The title references refer to "Learning Microsoft Works 4 for Windows 95". However, your synopsis wording shows ".....to learn Word 4.....". I would not order this book if confused about what subject it really covers.

A poor excuse for a textbook 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

What a joke. This sorry volume is riddled with mistakes of the most laughable sort. The publishers should have spent some time proof reading and correcting its many inaccuracies.

Editorial Review:

All books in this series offer consistent presentation—common design, pedagogy, and writing style. Concepts as well as key-strokes are stressed. Hands-on exercises in every lesson provide just the right amount of practice time. MOUS Certification throughout the expert level for all individual applications and Office 2000. Three levels of chapter-ending exercises, multiple choice, practice, and case studies. For anyone interested in becoming more proficient in Microsoft Office 2000.
