Andy, I'd suspect that if, as I'm pretty sure, you are a JFW user,
then a lot's going to depend on whether their are scripts for Works
2007, or whatever its called.
The Word processor is I'm quite sure a cut down version of MS Word,.
The Spreadsheet certainly in earlier versions of Works was quite
powerful, and again probably a cut down Excel. the database is really
a customised spreadsheet, and is a flat file database.
I found Works 2k - yes, going back a long way - good for out of class
practice with spreadsheet modules.
I think whatever you decide to do with regard to MS Office type apps,
its going to be something of a steep learning curve to master the new
ribbon interface. Only glad I don't have to work with these programs
as yet.
Cheers,
From Ray

Hi Andy
Mine came with a 30-day trial of Office 2007, but I removed it without
launching it. I already have Microsoft Office Professional 2003, and
I
wasn't going to buy another copy just because it is later.
Microsoft Works 8 is also there, but it wasn't a trial, so I left it
and
haven't even been in there to look at it as Office 2003 does what I
want.
Incidentally, I had no problems installing MS Office Professional 2003
because I didn't launch 2007 first. Had I done that, it might have
caused
problems to go back.
