SANTA CLARA, Calif., -- February 16, 1994 -- Claris Corporation today announced that ClarisWorks 2.0 for Macintosh, the #1 best-selling integrated software on Macintosh, is now available in a special English/Spanish bundle for the Education market. The bundle consists of both English and Spanish versions of the product. Both versions offer identical features and user interfaces. The Spanish version has been fully localized with Spanish menus, on-line help, dictionary and thesaurus. The consistency between the two versions makes ClarisWorks ideal for students who are transitioning from one language to another, particularly Spanish students who are learning English.
"Claris recognizes that there are many philosophies to teaching in bilingual programs," said Karen Billings, manager of education solutions for Claris Corporation. "This ClarisWorks English and Spanish bundle can be used in programs whose primary focus is to teach Spanish-speaking students to read and speak English or to teach the core subjects in Spanish while students are learning to speak English. We are bundling ClarisWorks English and Spanish versions to provide students and educators with the best software solution for bilingual and ESL regardless of teaching philosophy."
This enhanced bundle seamlessly integrates word processing, graphics, spreadsheets, charting, database management and communications tools giving education users new ways to easily manage and share information. The ClarisWorks English/Spanish bundle is available now to education institutions in the U.S.
"For both administrative tasks and classroom use, ClarisWorks is one of the best integrated software solutions," said Stephen Cohen, district technology planner for Paterson Public Schools in Paterson, NJ. "Using ClarisWorks 2.0 English and Spanish versions, we're developing an international business studies program for high school students. ClarisWorks provides students fluent in both English and Spanish with a complete tool set for recording, analyzing and presenting data gathered while studying social science subjects like the recent North American Free Trade Agreement."
ClarisWorks sets standard for integrated software
ClarisWorks features a breakthrough in interface design that is unique among integrated packages. While other integrated products bolt together separate mini-applications, ClarisWorks seamlessly integrates word processing, spreadsheet, charting, database, graphics and communications environments.

Worldwide, educators use ClarisWorks for everything from developing lesson plans and creating student exercises, to tracking progress reports and calculating student grades. ClarisWorks is used by more education institutions than any other integrated software package.
