How to Use Microsoft Works 2007 Tutorials

In late 2007, Microsoft released Works 9.0, rumored to be the last version of Works that they intend to issue. The program will be changed into a cut-down version of Office called "Office Starter 2010." Accessing help or tutorials for Works 9.0 is relatively simple, but you should keep in mind that as the product phases out, outside sources of tutorials will be phased out as well.

Instructions
