Although we make a great effort to design our programs to be as simple to use as possible, a good part of what makes them easy is the “behind-the-scenes” programming that the user doesn’t see. Unfortunately, this can’t be done with MS Works, whose spreadsheet is very basic. Our applications require the more powerful Excel program to create the custom menus, pre-formatted reports, PDF printing, data handling and numerous other features that make our programs far more useful and usable than a basic spreadsheet.
RealData products will also not work with spreadsheet products other than Microsoft Excel.
