Overview
ClarisWorks 5 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide is a great tool for mastering the best of the "Swiss Army knite" applications. ClarisWorks' integrated package encompassing word processing, database, spreadsheet, graphics, and telecommunications modules allows users to create sophisticated documents quickly. However even easy programs can take time to master, and this is where the Visual QuickStart's simple-to-follow instructions, hundreds of screenshots, and loads of tips can help the inexperienced user.Editorials
Library Journal
Peachpit's "Visual Quickstart Guides" is an excellent series focusing on highly visual software for both Macintosh and Windows. Uses for the software range from 3-D modeling with Ray Dream, to paper-page layout with QuarkXpress, to web design with GoLive and NetObjects. The approach is excellent for both self-learning and classroom work. The editors match great illustrations with total concentration on accomplishing very specific tasks and a minimum of extraneous discussion. My students love this series because the books are much less long-winded than I am.Book Details
