PC Help: How to update your Microsoft Works software

Get a Works upgrade

There's a little advertised update for Microsoft Works that takes the program up to version 8.5. The update is available until September 2007 for users of Works Suite 2005 and Works 8.

Microsoft certainly wants people to take this update, but do note that installation removes old features such as Microsoft Draw and Word Art, as these can cause compatibility problems with other programs.
