SUMMARY
=======
 
Works can open and save database and spreadsheet documents saved in comma
separated format.
 
To open these documents as a Database or Spreadsheet file the extension
".csv" (without the quotation marks) must be added to the filename so Works
knows what type of document it is opening.
 
For example, to open the file "Test Document" (without the quotation
marks), you must rename it "Test Document.csv".
