No Stress Guide to Works 8 This is the only book that I can find that gives instruction on the Works 8 progam. Works 8 is an reasonably easy program for anyone who doesn't want to go into the extensive Office programs done by Microsoft. The program came loaded in a Windows Vista computer that we bought and there is little or no instruction within the program.

I would recommend this to anyone--a college student, parent, office worker, teacher etc. I teach computer classes to Senior Citizens and this is a good program for them and the book will be a great help in my teaching. The price is a bit high (in fact almost the price of the program)but it is well worth it.
