buy/obtain a copy of Office Pro and install it. as you
may have noticed, Works is a garbage program, which is
why it comes pre-installed on most systems.

WORKS is an excellent program for most tasks needed by the
home user. It is simpler to use but less powerful than
OFFICE.

Strange as it may seem to many, but OFFICE has become less
expensive (the money has become less valuable) and more
people want Office to be in sync with their programs at
work.
