Microsoft Works 9 is a simplified office suite for home usage which contains only necessary tools and is deprived of business instruments which are generally used for complex business tasks. Microsoft Works 9 contains tools and instruments for text processing, table creation and editing, database management and calendar planning. Its capabilities in comparison to traditional Microsoft Office Suite are limited but is quite enough for home tasks completion. For example, spreadsheets support work only in a single tab, while traditional Office allows you to create as many tabs and new sheets within a single document. This option is very useful for business but is rarely used for home tasks.
