The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 4.0a, and 4.0b
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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

from the Address Book document.

1. Create a Communications document.
 
2. From the Tools menu, choose Connection and type the phone number
   in the Dial Phone Number box.
