A month ago, I complained about Claris Works because a 4KB Excel file
becomes 32KB when translated into Claris Works format. This complaint still holds
and all my spreadsheets still takes more disk space with CW than with XL.

But there is a compensation in other features of CW.

My wife discovered that, while doing a research report. She could open a drawing
temporary file, open a spreadsheet window in that drawing sheet, fill it as usual,
*ornate* it with comments, arrows, boxes, texts,.., then cut-and-copy it into
her report (a CW text processing file).

This is not extraordinary because this can also be done in WriteNow or MacWrite
with a PICT paste.
But wait, she can thrash the original tempo draw file with all the spreadsheet 
data and graphs, and still be able modify her spreadsheet in her text file.

All in all, this can be expected because CW is an integrated sw just as RagTime, 
but we are still amazed by these possibilities in a package of this low-price.
