| Yeah. But I'm also a bit abashed to discover that the
occasion of this

what 
Yes you are a complete and utter idiot for buying a
computer that you don't understand. Please put it back in
the box and return it to where you bought it with the
following covering letter. I am an idiot and do not
deserve to own a computer therefor I am returning it.
Please donate the refund cost to a charity of your chosing
as if you were to send me a cheque I would not know what
to do with it

lousy support

Could be the Winfax Pro program and not Works 6.0. Have
you tried Symantec's Support Site since they make the

trouble printing grid lines

Posted: 11 Jun 2004 04:45 PM PDT

Were you printing in draft quality when the grid lines failed to
print, and then didn't check that box when they did print?

It seems that when you print in draft quality, the grid lines don't
show up because of the lower resolution. It might be nice if they
mentioned this when they gave you the "draft quality" option, but
there you go.

Why draft quality increases the size of the font is, of course, one of
those mysteries which will forever resist solution.

Stupid program.

Customize Task Launcher

Posted: 11 Jun 2004 11:59 AM PDT

G'day Dawn,

Using a little legerdemain, of course you can!
In fact I have used it for years, however I have the Platinum Model
(MSWorks 4.5a)
I would not be sure if this works with the Mickey Mouse Versions.

Navigate to
C:\Program Files\MSWorks\TEMPLATE
Create a shortcut onto the desktop
Create a novel Icon for it and then move the shortcut
down into the bottom Task Bar.

Voila!

Hence forward any "User Defined" templates that you engineer
will be accesible by a one click!
No need to be in Works at the time
You can add / delete / backup these templates at random
HTH
Good Luck

Problem with printing Calendar in Microsoft Works

Posted: 11 Jun 2004 09:36 AM PDT

Thank so much. I tried what you said and it didn't work
unfortunately. It's almost as if the calendar itself needs
to be trimmed down. Not quite sure what else to do. I also
have windows ME on my puter. Thanks again. Sharon

Hi John,

Also, to have the Calendar open on StartUp:

Copy a shortcut to the Works Calendar file (WksCal.exe)
into your StartUp folder.

Works and Excel

Posted: 11 Jun 2004 04:55 AM PDT

No. Works is limited to one sheet per file.

Works is a low end, low cost package aimed at home users and some small businesses.

Office (including Word, Excel, Access) is a high end, high cost package aimed at
businesses and power users.

The advantages of Works are low cost, and due to reduced functionality, less complexity.
The price you pay is less functionality and some compatibility issues.

problem with uninstalling a software

Posted: 11 Jun 2004 12:46 AM PDT

Are you trying to uninstall Works? If not you might want
to try one of the Microsoft Newsgroups if its a different
Microsoft program. Or go to the programs web site and
choose their support page.
 
was unable to do so. 
doesn't go. Does someone have any solution to such errant
softwares that just wouldn't let go of one's PC. 

A CHOOSE command

Posted: 10 Jun 2004 02:54 PM PDT

Hi Dave,

CHOOSE easily offers you options, where a single choice value
is paired/matched with the corresponding ordered option value.
The first option is zero-based !

=CHOOSE(thisOptionNumber,Option0,Option1,Option2, ... )

=CHOOSE(A2,B2,B3,B4,"N/A") will return the contents of cell
B2 (the option) should cell A2 (the choice) contain the value 0
B3 should cell A2 contain the value 1
B4 should cell A2 contain the value 2
or "N/A" should cell A2 contain the value 3

However, it will return ERR if the value of A2 is less than 0, or greater
than (the number of options - 1).

The IF function offers options based on a result you may care to
construct with or without nested IFs. The values need not be in
numerical order and complex formulae may be constructed

= IF(aCondition, IsTrue_ThenUseThisValue,Otherwise itsFalse_UseThisValue)

A Simple Unnested Formula:

=IF(NumberInClass>25,"Overcrowded","Bliss")

where Number inClass is a named cell that holds
a value for the number of children in a class.

Nested Formula:

say, Cell A1 is named: NumberInClass
Cell A2 is named: Weather

then this formula, in cell B2 gives a teacher some idea of the day ahead !

=IF(AND(NumberInClass<25,Weather="Sunshine"),"Blis s",IF(NumberInClass>35,"Overcr
owded",IF(Weather="Sunshine","Move Lessons Outdoors","Challenging")))

Therefore, perhaps,

=IF( IF_Works, ContinueToUse, TryCHOOSE )

PRINTING WP FILE CONTAINING GRAPHICS

Posted: 09 Jun 2004 02:04 PM PDT

Hi Jay,

Perhaps, to print, break the document into a number of
(much) smaller documents ?

You may save embedded pictures from within a Works
document by right-clicking the picture and select copy.

Paste this into a photo-manipulating application.
