Microsft works is cheaper, and can do spreadsheets/address books/database/word processing, but as you can guess, its all limited in functionality.
Microsoft word is more expensive, but can do anything, and has billions of feautures youll never use. But lots of ones you will that works doesnt have.

MS Works is just a cheap imitation of Wordpad or Write.
If you're gonna use an essay formulation tool, use Word. The reason why I don't say "Word Processor" is because it doesn't process a word, just checks its spelling. :| Oh, and one thing that Word does have is 3 views... and paragraph spacing.. (double triple etc) and more and more popular types of save files than Works. (that's almost 100% a fact, as a teacher of mine used Works, sent me something, and it came out garbled junk and couldn't be processed by Word. Two programs. One company. Incompatible file types. :lol:

It isn't nearly that bad.
 Did you do a full install of Word? I can import Works .WPS files into Word just fine. (But Works is really really clumsy. I thought Word was the worst thing they could produce until I saw Works.) Quote:MS Works is just a cheap imitation of Wordpad or Write.

works is supposed to be the poor man's ms. office. costs about as much, and has spreadsheet and database capabilities built. i think it also came first. either way, get work, if you can afford it, it's a better peice of software.

I think my man Joe means get *word* (not works). Works is often preinstalled on new PCs as a 'teaser'. People try to use it, realise its crappy with a fraction of the features of Office and buy that instead. In the olden days I don't think you could even open Word docs with works. I soon got ridda that 
In a world without walls and doors, who needs Windows and Gates?

There isn't any point spending $300 in Ms Word when you can download Open Office for free. I did it, and it works way better. It is free, portable software. It handles docs in the XML format, so you're sure that your docs will look the same in one computer or another, having Windoze, Linux, FreeBSD or BeOS, so no more crappy Word problems.
You can download the whole suite for free at http://www.openoffice.org I'd suggest that. It loads and saves MSWord's DOC, so you won't have any problems with your old documents. Just a valuable advice. Screw MSOffice.
