i use office 98, and it's alright. it does what you want it to do,
but it's a little annoying at times, just like most software. it's a
RAM hog, it's kind of imperialistic. if it ever finds extensions that
are missing it will restore the extension set. so when i'm in audio
mode, and the MS inits are off, if i happen to launch Office by
mistake it will install it all over again. pet peeve. but it is an
industry standard. you can send MS 98 docs to an MS 95 system, you
need to save it as MS 6/95. also has interface with FileMaker for
mailing lists etc.
i'd like to know if anyone uses AppleWorks and how they like it.
thanks bob
