4.0 out of 5 stars Dummies work everytime!, April 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Works Suite 2000 for Dummies (Paperback)

I have used the "Dummies" books for many years. Ihave found them all very helpful. The layout is always easy to followand the lanuage is easily understood. This book is no different. Within an hour I had learned the difference between Word 95 and Word 2000. I found easy ways to transfer info from Works 4.5 to this version. I tried to do these things before I got this book. I could not make the tasks work. This book was a good investment because it will allow me to get everything out of Works suite 2000 possible. I would recommend this book to save yourself some headaches.
