Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Lotus 1-2-3 is a mature spreadsheet application, capable of performing complicated calculations on arrays of numbers. Its considerable library of built-in functions can help you perform financial, statistical, engineering, and table-lookup tasks, as well as some text-processing jobs (such as substring searching) that other spreadsheets' function libraries can't do. The program also features some integration with IBM ViaVoice voice-editing technology--you can do certain data-entry tasks simply, without typing.
Lotus 1-2-3 also ships with an assortment of SmartMaster templates, designed for easy creation of sales plans, expense reports, and other common number-centric documents. The function library and generally slicker interface of Lotus 1-2-3 are better than those of Microsoft Excel, but Excel's PivotTable and auditing features aren't matched here.
The neatest new feature in this release of Lotus 1-2-3 is called Web Tables. Web Tables allow you to establish a link to a resource on the Internet--a page of stock quotes, say--and then make reference to that data in your calculations. You can configure your Web Tables so they're updated automatically, or only on your command. It's a neat feature, but in most cases you end up downloading a lot of garbage with the numbers you want, and figuring out a way to parse the information is a challenge. Still, it's nice to see a way, even a crude one, to establish a near-live link to Web data. Web Tables make your calculations that much more current. --David Wall
Note: This edition of Lotus 1-2-3 ships with a special edition of Lotus 1-2-3 Millennium Edition for Dummies, a good introductory book on the program.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great software, but.....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lotus 123 Millennium Edition 9.5 (CD-ROM)
It is a great product. Will match it's weight in gold with Microsoft Office. There are quite a few bugs in the Lotus Organizer software. For example, some of the dates you input in the 'To do' list, and in the 'alarm', do not remain as inputed. It changes to some default date on it's own. The Lotus web site offers close to nothing for fixing the bugs. If you compare the convenience offered by Microsoft web sites for any Microsoft product to fix bugs, where the site identifies what fix is good for you, Lotus web site is right out of the stone age. This one feature might want us to stick to Microsoft products.
