Using Microsoft Works 4.0b

[Louis S. Diggs]

I am using Microsoft Works 4.0b on my Mac Power PC, OS 9.1.
I have never had a problem with this word processor.
I would like to use Works on OS 9.2 and OS 10, but Works
4.0b will not work on those two systems.
I thought that I could use a later version of Microsoft
Works 7.0, but the system requirement for that software
only calls for Windows, not a Mac.
What later version of Microsoft Works can I purchase to use
on Mac OS 9.2 and 10?
Thanks for a response.

Microsoft Works was discontinued a long time ago. The final version was, to
the best of my recollection, the 4.0b that you have. It doesn't surprise me
that it doesn't work in OS X.

AppleWorks may be a good alternative.
