[bcab] Re: Microsoft Office and Works

Hi Karina.

Microsoft Works is a program that combines a basic wordprocessor, spreadsheet 
and a database but it is not very accessible.  You could safely uninstall it if 
you wish.  Either way you should be able to install Microsoft Office without 
problems.  Microsoft Office 2000 or later works with Windows XP, though later 
versions of JAWS and window-eyes give better access to many parts of Office 
2003 if you have this available.

If you do not have Microsoft Office and only really need Word then you should 
consider Microsoft Works Suite.  This is, rather confusingly, different to 
Microsoft Works.

Works Suite includes a full version of Microsoft word 2002 as well as other 
programs such as Encarta, Microsoft Money and Autoroute.  As far as I know, 
these 3 programs are pretty much inaccessible but Works Suite is generally 
available for less than £60.

  Hi Karina,

  If you have Microsoft Office, then I would advise not instaalling Works, and 
just installing Office, since Works is a cut-down version of it.

  All the best

  Hi all, 

  Please can someone tell me the difference between Microsoft Office and 
Microsoft Works?  I've recently had a new computer that has got Microsoft Works 
 installed on it and I can find an application that is similar to PowerPoint 
but nothing else to do with Office.  I've been snt a disk with the computer 
that is labelled Microsoft Works but I'm not sure if I need to install it or if 
I need to install Microsoft Office as well as Microsoft Works.  Please can 
someone advise me?

  Thanks.

  Karina
