Like I said, I have Works 6 (which I believe is the latest) and it DOES NOT
include WORD. I also have Office 2000 which does include WORD. While Works
has a word processor based on Word, it is no where as powerful as Word. A
check of the TOOLS menu will start to show the difference. For instance,
WORD has a document merge that Works does not, Word has the ability to
track changes, Works does not and so forth.

Works can be purchased by itself and includes word
processor, database, spreadsheet. Works Suite does include
MS Word and a few other programs in addition to MS Works
with its own word processor, spreadsheet and data base as
mentioned above.

In another mail, I will mention some free alternatives.
