At Microsoft,

the Macintosh; has met its match.

Apple designed the Macintosh to combine power and ease of use as never before. At Microsoft, we've done the same with our software for the Macintosh.

The program you've purchased is just one example of Microsoft's full line of quality applications for the Macintosh. Applications that are the right choice whether your business day involves a little bit of everything or a dedicated effort on a single task. In fact, we've sold more software for the Macintosh than anyone else.

No wonder we're the leader in software for both the original Macintosh and the new Macintosh Plus.

At Microsoft, we believe that software should give you both instant results and plenty of room for growth. That's why we make programs that are easy to use from the day you take them out of the package. Yet they're also designed to grow with you as your needs and your expertise develop.

Naturally, all these programs are designed around standard Macintosh features such as mouse control, pull-down menus, and dialog boxes. So once you've learned one application-like the one you've just bought-you're well on your way to knowing all the others. What's more, they work great together, especially with the convenience of the Applee Switcher-, utility (included with Microsoft® Excel).

In addition to great software, Microsoft gives you a superb system of direct telephone support. As well as reasonably priced updates on our latest advances. (To ensure that you're kept upto-date with the newest versions of our products, be sure to send in the registration card included with

this package.) And to get the most from your new Microsoft software-and your Macintosh-take a look at the enclosed listing of books from Microsoft Press.

Microsoft software for the Macintosh.

It's the software that makes your Macintosh run at full power.

Microsoft Word. For every word you write.

:0

cnuete

From the simplest memo to the most complex report, Microsoft Word gives you the power of a high-end word processor. Without all the high-end complications.

So you can start simply. Then go on to take advantage of Word's rich array of features whenever you need them.

Right from the start Microsoft Word helps make your day-today writing tasks fast and easy. For instance, you can work with multiple documents or different parts of the same document simultaneously on the screen, cutting and pasting information between them. Plus, you can take advantage of a wide choice of quick text-selection and optional keyboard commands to speed your way through documents.

And when you're ready for more, Microsoft Word's professional power is already built in.

For example, you can customize form letters by merging them with personalized information. Create detailed business forms with rules and mixed type styles. Assemble complex

documents quickly by building a glossary

of frequently used text-such as standard paragraphs in a legal document-that can be inserted automatically. Or create footnotes that can appear anywhere in your document.

Most important, Word doesn't limit your efforts: Your files can be any length you need (limited only by available disk space).

The perfect team player.

Microsoft Word works great with other applications to let you create just the documents you need. Bring in spreadsheets from Microsoft Excel, graphs from Microsoft Chart, names and addresses from Microsoft File. You can even convert existing MacWriteTM files automatically.

And Microsoft Word lets you take

full advantage of a wide variety

of printers. Such as the Apple Imagewriter«. Daisywheel printers. And the newest generation of laser printers-including superior support for the Apple LaserWriterTM and LaserWriter Plus. Or use Microsoft Word with Pagelvlaker-, from Aldus Corporation to layout and create publication-quality documents, right from your desk.

Microsoft Word. It's easy enough to pop out a memo

or a letter. Powerful enough to tackle massive reports and proposals. Advanced enough to be the only word processor you'll ever need.

System Requirements: Apple Mcu::intosh. External disk drive or hard disk recommended.

Microsoft File. People who love Microsoft File have been known to change their minds.

Some data management programs expect you to be as infallible as a computer. Right from the start, you have to decide exactly what information you want in the file. And exactly how you want it presented. With these programs, whatever you decide in the beginning is all you'll ever get. Now and forever.

Microsoft File is different. It lets you change your mind whenever you want. And reshape your data as new factors come into play. This unmatched flexibility and ease of use have made Microsoft File the leading data management program for the Macintosh.

Creating a database with Microsoft File is as easy as answering a few questions. It guides you step-by-simple-step. For

instance, by answering questions, you tell the program if the information in each field is going to be text, a date, a number, or a picture, and how numbers and dates should be expressed.

Then, working with your database is simple.

Need to total figures across several customer records? Microsoft File offers calculated fields. Want to highlight important information? File lets you use bold, italic, and underlined text.

Later, you can easily add or delete a field as your needs or data change-a request that would send most database programs back to square one.

When it's time to print out your information, Microsoft File is just as versatile. It lets you view the same datafile information in an unlimited number of ways, so you can find the format that works best for you. And you can design standard report formats (such as ones for forms or mailing labels) and then use them with whichever datafiles you want. Or merge File information

into form letters created with Microsoft Word.

Microsoft File. It's the information manager that understands how you work.

Microsoft Excel. For those who understand the uses of power.

Whatever your conception of spreadsheets and business software, whatever standard you've come to respect in financial programs for personal computers, Microsoft Excel exceeds all the others-in brute power, raw speed, and pure simplicity.

A combination spreadsheet, business graphics, and database program, Microsoft Excel turns the full power of your computer to business analysis, budgeting, cash flow management, and other intensive number-crunching applications.

With 16,384 rows and 256 columns, Microsoft Excel is big enough to tackle massive financial analyses. On the Macintosh Plus, you can create models using up to 750K memory-big enough for your biggest jobs. Yet because it was designed for the Macintosh, you can put it to work immediately. Even defining macros is easy, with no programming required.

And, unlike other spreadsheet programs, big size doesn't mean big waits. Change a number on the spreadsheet,

and Microsoft Excel recalculates only those cells affected by the change. It works fast-so you aren't kept on hold.

Microsoft Excel displays its excellence in plenty of other ways. For instance,

you can view several worksheets at once. Cut information from one to another. Or link them together so that when

you change the numbers in one, the relevant sections in the others change automatically.

You have the flexibility of using 19 built-in number formats or of creating your own. And you can even use boldface or italic type or cell borders to emphasize headings and key ideas. So Microsoft Excel lets you produce not only the most useful but also the most informative and exceptional-looking spreadsheets ever.

And Microsoft Excel fits right into any office, no matter what machine or what software others are using. It features twoway file compatibility with Lotus® 1-2-3®, with Microsoft Multiplane and Chart on the Macintosh, and with any product that supports Microsoft's SYLK format (such as Microsoft Project, Multiplan, and Chart for the IBM® PC).

See what your numbers mean.

With Microsoft Excel, you can transform your numbers

into charts and graphs that will quickly convey your information to others. An on-screen gallery features 7 chart types in 42 different formats. Within any of them, you can add legends, arrows, and other elements to emphasize important information. And since the charts are automatically linked to the worksheets, they're instantly updated when the numbers change.

Microsoft Excel also includes a fast spreadsheet-style database. So you can sort and display information quickly. And glean critical information directly from your spreadsheet.

You can take any of that informationspreadsheet, graphics, or database-and use it directly in other programs. And with the Apple Switcher utility (which comes with Microsoft Excel), you can run other programs at the same time.

It learns by doing.

On top of all these features, Microsoft Excel's macros make it simple to access the program's exceptional power.

Macros let you automate repetitive tasks-even create worksheets that anyone can update quickly and automatically.

Creating macros is simple. Turn on the macro "recorder," and go through the steps you want automated; Microsoft Excel will record what you do and store the entire sequence for later use. The bottom line: powerful macros without programming.

Microsoft Excel. It's got the power to do exactly what you need done.

System Requirements: Apple Macintosh with minimum 5I2K memory, and external disk drive or hard disk.

Microsoft Multiplan. The world's most popular spreadsheet

Microsoft Chart The picture of success.

More than a million people around the world are using Microsoft Multiplan, on more than a hundred different computers and in thirteen different languages.

TI1e Macintosh Version 1.1 of Microsoft Multiplan takes the pain out of number-crunching. It's a great tool for anyone with a 128K (or larger) system who wants to get the information out of a stack of numbers quickly.

With Microsoft Multiplan, you can quickly create spreadsheets for everything from budget forecasting to home finances, taking advantage of its new mathematical and financial functions. To communicate your results even more effectively, select the font you want. Or cut and paste your Multiplan data into Microsoft Chart for clear, versatile graphing. You can even make a permanent link between the two for automatic updating.

What's more, if you're running a SI2K or larger Macintosh with the Apple Switcher utility, Multiplan gives you a compact, convenient spreadsheet that will work well with all your other programs.

Microsoft Multiplan. It's a proven value.

System Requirements: Apple Macintosh.

When you need to make business charts-accurate charts, clear charts, expressive charts-and you need them now, make them with Microsoft Chart.

Microsoft Chart gives you the tools you need to quickly and effectively communicate numerical information and ideas. Whether you're graphing numbers for management reports, financial analyses, or executive presentations, Chart lets you tum them into meaningful pictures in minutes.
