2.0 out of 5 stars You may want to read Appleworks for Dummies instead., July 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: AppleWorks 5 for Windows & Macintosh (Paperback)

I bought this book to learn how to use Appleworks. I found the information sort of vague. Although I have not read the Appleworks for Dummies book I have read Windows 98 for Dummies, Macs for Dummies, and iMac for Dummies. I found the Dummies books to be full of useful information, easy to read, and entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars Effective Tutorial, March 23, 2000

This review is from: AppleWorks 5 for Windows & Macintosh (Paperback)

This book provided an easy to follow tutorial of all the components of AppleWorks and how they work with each other. My highest praise is that it passed my mom test. That means that my mom was able to read and use this book and is now quite capable of using AppleWorks on her own.
