the Works accessories, and employ built-in macros. The rest of the
chapters describe the individual Microsoft Works word processing,
spreadsheet, database, and communications tools in detail. Each chapter is
packed with helpful screen illustrations and handy tips. An overview of
each tool contains a series of exercises followed by general tips designed

include a form letter, a budget, an amortization schedule, and an
appointment calendar.
