ANYONE who knows anything about Bill Gates knows that he likes multimedia, so it should come as no surprise that Microsoft will be offering a few of its leading products in multimedia packages.
There will soon be Microsoft Word and Bookshelf, combining two old-time favourites in the Windows platform.
Also from Microsoft will be the Office Professional and Bookshelf Integrated Productivity Package.
This will include everything one gets in Microsoft Office - Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access - as well as the Bookshelf '94 package, which includes the American Heritage Dictionary, Roget's Thesaurus, the Columbia Dictionary of Quotations, the People's Chronology, the Concise Columbia Encyclopedia, the Hammond Intermediate World Atlas and the World Almanac and Book of Facts 1994.
They should be available next month.
