Why clutter your hard drive with applications, when a single suite can fulfill all your daily productivity needs? AppleWorks 5 offers a comprehensive palette of flexible tools that let you write, draw, paint, juggle figures, organize data, and create presentations with ease.

The word processor's typical button bar gives you access to the most common formatting options, and although there's no grammar check or auto-correct feature, AppleWorks makes creating columns and wrapping text around images easy. The drawing application is best suited for flowcharts or maps, while the paint application better handles scanned images or original art. In any case, the tools are easy to find, and you'll appreciate being able to store clip-art libraries and textures in accessible floating palettes.

The spreadsheet includes a comprehensive array of formulas as well as an equation editor, and the database is a solid-list management tool with some nifty quick-sorting options. The weakest link is the communications package--barely more than a simple terminal program--and the very basic HTML creation.

Taken separately, each program has some nice features, but none qualifies as a powerhouse. Where AppleWorks shines is in its ease of use and in the way the applications are integrated. A single button will add a spreadsheet to your word processing document, and creating a mail merge from database records simply involves pointing and clicking. As you switch between applications (or data types), the button bar will automatically change to reflect the tools available.

The button bar itself can be customized to reflect your own work habits by adding predefined functions, macros, and even AppleScripts. Included "Stationary" files offer everything from business plans to more than a dozen classroom aides, and "Assistants" create family budgets as easily as newsletters. With its low system requirements and trim size, AppleWorks shows how sweet all-in-one packages can be. --Jack Gardiner ... Read more

Very Good Product
Much better then ClarisWorks 4.0! Hint: If you have ClarisWorks 5.0, you don't need to buy AppleWorks. If you have Internet access, go to VersionTracker and type in 'ClarisWorks 5.0.3'. This will change the overall appearance and name of ClarisWorks to AppleWorks.

A very well done peice of productivity software.
Well done. This is a very good office program that doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of some office suites. Just Great! ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

Mariner Pak offers a double dip of office software that compares favorably feature-wise to Microsoft Office, but that uses a fraction of the memory. Boasting an elegant, easy-to-use interface, Mariner Write is a word processing program that runs on as few as 2 MB RAM. Other features include Mac OS X font-smoothing technology, the ability to select noncontiguous blocks of text, and such essentials as style sheets, mail-merge automation, and PDF saving options. Mariner Calc is spreadsheet software designed to aid users in analyzing, simulating, and forecasting numerical data. Simpler to use and absorbing far less memory than Microsoft Excel, Mariner Calc adds new options through its use of multiple layers in a single document. The software also features spreadsheets as large as 32,000 rows by 32,000 columns for analyzing large data sets, graphics and drawing tools to enhance the appearance of your documents, 15 chart types, dynamic scrolling, an 80,000-plus-word dictionary, and Mac drag-and-drop functionality that offers an attractive alternative to cutting, copying, and pasting. ...

problems
I also had problems getting the mailing list portion to open. I went to the web site and was still unable to fix the problem. I dont think it is xp friendly

Home Office Suite by Activision
I don't like it. It is hard to download, and then to open up. I don't know if I got a bad kit or what but it just doesn't do the job well and it isn't user friendly.
I'd be better off sticking with Works.
Wish I could get my money back. I bought it at Staples. ... Read more
