Software Main Type: Productivity Application
Apple Works v.6.2.4
Strengths: Has a unified interface and translates your Word/Excel docs back and forth relatively easily. Also the dB interface is relatively good although execution is a bit hard to understand
Weakness: There is no intuitive way of bulleting, Page Setup, etc. Its table does not allow text flow to next page. VERY VERY POOR layout of WP tools!!! Meant for DTP not WP. Lame even for that...
If you want WP go Word or better yet go to Thinkfree office (its free). If you want DTP go to Quark or Adobe. This is not a good product.
