Microsoft Works V7 PC CD, at John Lewis
Works 7 combines a word processor, spreadsheet, database, calendar and more in to an easy-to-use, project-driven package. You start by choosing a project such as "Do Well in School" then select one of a series of tasks for instance "Track Homework Assignments". Works 7 uses a series of pre-written templates to get you started and while many are basic, they are enough to get you up and running in double quick time. A bonus of this approach is you may get ideas for things you can do with your PC that you would never have otherwise considered.

The more adventurous user can also start from scratch creating documents, spreadsheets and databases and even combining these in projects. While the word processor lacks the power-user functions of Microsoft Word, no facility is really missed. You still have tables, pictures, spell-checking and a thesaurus at your disposal. Equally, the spreadsheet offers enough power for the home user and small business although there is a limit of one sheet per file. The only obvious weakness is data handling where both the spreadsheet and the dedicated database are significantly inferior to their more "professional" equivalents. You can create a single table and design reports but that is as good as it gets.

Includes: Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Database, Calender, Email & Internet Tools and My Projects Organiser; The quick-start Task Launcher home page shows you your schedule and to-do-list at a glance and most frequently used Works components; Take your calendar and address book with you on PocketPC and Palm devices; The My Projects Organiser helps you take care of all the details of projects like plan an event or party, plan a holiday, do a school project and many others; 300 contemporary templates that are easily customisable with hundreds of new clipart; Share and edit word processing and spreadsheet files with Microsoft Word and Excel users.
