MS Works [ Atlantis Word Processor]

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?

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. :-)
