I'll provide my recommendation after we look at the other Quickstart Guide. C. Ann Brown's new book on ClarisWorks 5 begins with a tremendously helpful Getting Started section, covering the basics of computer operation and CW usage. She itemizes both traditional features of ClarisWorks and version 5's enhancements. One by one, the CW modules are explained. When the Edit dialog box appears, the shortcut key combination appears on the right side of the macro list.
Spreadsheets get two chapters, beginning and advanced.
Databases, drawing, painting, and communications receive one hearty chapter apiece. Just like ClarisWorks itself, the book is lean and straightforward, providing just what you need, with no flab. Excuse me for repeating myself, but please recall that the pages in each Visual Quickstart Guide are split into two columns, with text and tips on the outside columns, and numbered screenshots and graphics on the inside columns. I find this format to be extremely easy to use. If you need good, basic visual material on ClarisWorks 5, please do have a look at C. Ann Brown's ClarisWorks Visual Quickstart Guide .
