IDG BOOKS SHIPS MACWORLD GUIDE TO MICROSOFT WORKS 3, A TASK-ORIENTED GUIDE
WITH EXPERT TIPS AND REAL WORLD EXAMPLES

San Mateo, CA--November 17, 1992--IDG Books Worldwide today announced the
publication of Macworld Guide To Microsoft Works 3, a comprehensive yet
practical guide to mastering Microsoft Works. Written by Barrie Sosinsky,
a bestselling computer book author and a regular contributor to the Boston
Computer Society's BCS Update, it's organized by topic, so users can
quickly look up information on particular tasks without reading the book
sequentially.

"Microsoft Works is like a Swiss Army Knife--there's a tool in it to get
every job done," said Barrie Sosinsky, the author. Works 3 is a popular
integrated business application which has appeared on Macworld magazine's
bestselling software for over 65 months. In his book, Sosinsky teaches
users how to master Work's individual modules and integrate them
effectively to produce powerful documents. He also describes:

* How to use all Works applications modules: word processing, database,
spreadsheet, draw, charting, and communications

* "Real world" examples with over 100 illustrations to demonstrate
functions

* How to make all the modules work together, including swapping data
between programs

* Easy-to-understand explanations of advanced features, such as Macro
Recorder, and working with spreadsheet and database functions

* Using Works on the road with a PowerBook

Macworld Guide To Microsoft Works 3 is the latest title in IDG Books'
Macworld series of books, which includes the national bestseller Macworld
Guide To System 7, Macworld Guide To Microsoft Word 5, and Macworld Guide
To Microsoft Excel 4. Macworld books are the only books licensed by
Macworld magazine, the world's most popular authority for Mac users.

"Our Macworld Guide To books work the way you do: They focus on
accomplishing specific tasks--not learning random functions. They have the
easy-to-follow, step-by-step sections of a manual, the comprehensive
coverage you'd expect to find in a long tome, and the brevity you need
from a quick reference guide," said David Solomon, Vice President and
Publisher of IDG Books.

Sosinsky, a regular contributing editor to the Desktop Publishing Journal
and writer for BCS Update, has done product reviews for Macworld magazine
and serves as a consultant to businesses in the area of personal
computers, specializing in business applications, databases, desktop
publishing and graphics.
