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.
