 Bloated but OKAY December 27, 2001
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
This is a bloated program that contains hundreds of features that most people will not use. Nevertheless, after spending several hours trying to figure it out, I am generally pleased with it. I previously used Works 4.0 (a truly great program, fast, simple, easy) but was forced to upgrade to Works 6.0 due to my new operating system (Windows 2000). The word processor (Word 2000) has a nice look and contains lots of good features when you finally figure it out. My initial impression of this product was unfavorable -- too many features, too complicated -- but I have warmed up to it and feel that our good buddies at Microsoft have done their best to provide a versatile product. It's not an easy program to learn, but if you have the patience to work your way through it, you will probably like it. Bloated but OKAY.
 WISH I HAD STAYED ON 4.0 November 1, 2001

VERY CLUMSY TO TRY TO USE DATABASE WITH MAIL MERGE FOR A WORD PROCESSOR FILE. UNLESS YOU WANT TO WORK/CREATE WHAT THEY HAVE ALREADY DONE FOR YOU, THE WHOLE PROGRAM IS VERY LIMITING. THEIR NEW GALLERY IS JUST FONTS AND COLORS (HO HUM) WE ALREADY HAD THAT. TO MAKE IT WORSE, WHEN QUESTIONED THEIR TECH SUPPORT AGREED WITH ME AND REFERED ME TO A TOLL-FREE NUMBER FOR A REFUND AND ANOTHER NUMBER TO TRY TO GET 4.0/4.5; THOSE PEOPLE CLAIM HE WAS WRONG AND SAID IF I WANTED TO TRY TO BUY 4.0/4.5 TO CALL A WAREHOUSE (THEY GAVE ME THE NUMBER); THE WAREHOUSE HAS CLOSED.SO MUCH FOR TECH SUPPORT; BY THE WAY THE FIRST TECH SUPPORT GUY SAID THEIR WEBSITE HAD A DOWNLOAD PATCH TO CONVERT THEIR 6.0 FILES BACK TO 4.0'S. I GOTTA FIND 4.0 TO BUY FIRST. WHILE I WAS THEIR I FOUND ANOTHER PATCH TO HELP FIX SOME OF THE DATABASE PROBLEM, IT WORKS, BUT JUST A SMALL PATCH FOR A VERY DISAPPOINTING PURCHASE. DONT' WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. ARE WE GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE TRYING TOO HARD. MAYBE SOME FRESH NEW IDEAS ARE NEEDED; HERE'S ONE - GET UP FROM THE DESK AND TRY LOOKING OUTSIDE, TAKE A BREATH AND RELAX. IF IT AIN'T BROKE - DON'T FIX IT. THANKS FOR LETTING ME AIR.
 My Default Software August 23, 2001

Unlike others, Microsoft Works is the software for me. I use it for everything. Nothing offered by the more capable software has any value for the work that I do. In fact, I find WORD to be so complicated at times that it is just not useful. Every time I think I'll step up I always come back to Works. It is the best software for those who need software that is easy to use, easy to load, and provides for uncomplicated success.
Save your money for Microsoft Office February 4, 2001

I bought Works, because I was a freshman in college, and needed a wordprocessing program for papers, etc. It is good for people who will not share folders, and have their own printer. It's a hassel trying to save the Works document in WP or something else to print out on another printer, or even view it on another computer. It may seem like such a great deal for $44, but save up!! Honest! The Office Suite, Word, or Excel separate are better deals...
A step backwards December 11, 2000

With Works Micosoft makes a step backwards because it does not no longer support celprotection. Imagine a spreadsheet of 10 pages with hundreds of formulas and with no celprotection.
