MS Works [ Atlantis Word Processor]
BillW50 has written on 2/13/2014 8:02 AM:
I got curious and revisited MS Works once again. MS Works is on this machine and it is at v8.0. I do know one can upgrade to v8.5 for free, but you loose Word Art, remember that one? Both Works and Office used in the earlier versions. Anyway I am surprised how many features are packed into this product. For example, many of the features we chatted about that we use all of the time is there too under MS Works, even tables. Surprisingly it also has a grammar checker, plus it has a real dictionary (The American Heritage). Yes, it has the definition of many commonly used words. Does it have file-format compatibility with Office? |

Does it have file-format compatibility with Office? Yes! I don't see a way yet to create Power Point files (I don't think it can), but it can view them too. Works can't do everything that Office can do, but surprisingly it can do what most people do anyway. That American Heritage dictionary and thesaurus blew me away. I wasn't expecting anything that good. :-) -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - OE-QuoteFix v1.19.2 Centrino Core2 Duo T5600 1.83GHz - 4GB - Windows XP SP2 |
