Schools have been using integrated programs, such as Microsoft Works and Claris/AppleWorks, for many years to fulfill word processing, spreadsheet, and database needs. Some schools are still using these programs, but many are switching to Microsoft Office products. For word processing and spreadsheets, the transition is fairly easy: Microsoft Word and Excel work just like the word processors and spreadsheets of the integrated packages; i.e., the functionality is similar, in which menu each function is located is all that changes. Unfortunately, databases are a different story. Microsoft Access behaves nothing like Claris/AppleWorks. While many database functions can be done in a spreadsheet (especially with some of the newer features of Microsoft Excel), some people might still prefer to use a database to perform searches, sorts, and reports.
