Install the printer driver. Did you upgrade to Windows
XP? If so, you will need the Windows XP printer drivers.

upgrading from works7 to office xp 2002

Posted: 23 Jun 2004 04:28 AM PDT

You can upgrade from Works 7.0 to Office 2003. Office
2003 has an upgrade and full version. Office 2003 is the
latest version not Office 2002. Office Comes with
Outlook that has a calendar. You will have to keep Works
7.0 with the Office 2003 upgrade. Go to the Office web
page and check out the system requirement.

You can check C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local

Look for files named ~Qilxxxx.tmp from the date in

but since the program closed normally (it didn't crash)
the tmp file probably isn't there anymore.

Problems with works

Posted: 21 Jun 2004 12:44 PM PDT

Hi Dorothy,

How to find the Columns:
In Report view pick the top left cell (to select All)
Then go to:
[Format]
[Column Width]
Then enter 10
All column widths (including the hidden ones) should now be 10 units wide.
Before re-setting your column widths try "The Fix" below.
The only way to check if the Fix has worked is to close the file and re-open it.
If the columns widths remain the same size as the previous session it's o'k.
if they do not remain constant it might pay to set up a new file, otherwise you will be adjusting your column widths for eternity.
Should you set up a new file bear in mind "The Cause" below.

The fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q136/3/20.asp

The Cause:
In List View, changing All font sizes in one go will affect the report widths.
(done by picking on top left square, or wiping ALL fields)
If you want to change all the fonts en mass in List view without
affecting the the Report Column widths
you can do it by selecting all but one field, then change font size.
Then select the remaining field and change that. If you have hidden
fields (i.e. width is zero) then you can select (wipe) ALL the visible
fields and change just those.
Incidentally if you select ALL cells in Report Edit view (top left
square)
and change font size,
that will also affect the column widths.
To summarize; if you don't do any selection en mass
when changing font sizes the report columns remain rock solid.
Eric

Hi Daniel,

Are you looking to upgrade to Office 2003 ?

Works 2000 allows you to obtain Office 2003 for
a reduced price.

Formatting lost in database after saving/reopening

Posted: 19 Jun 2004 07:07 AM PDT

Hi Tim,

Also, you may also be able to paste more recent data only from
the damaged database into one of the "good" versions you retain.

This will save you having to re-establish formulae, filters, etc. etc.

Sorry, the microsoft site that brought me here was very
unclear about that. it's listed as English > Desktop

Opening existing spreadsheet

Posted: 17 Jun 2004 06:23 PM PDT


I decided that there were so many things wrong with V7 of
Works that were unnecessary featues, printer problems, etc
that I removed V7 and installed Works for Windows 2000, V5
from a CD which is what I used for years on my old computer
(Win ME). This solved the printer and reopening problems.
Opening an existing spreadsheets opens it to where it was
closed not at the top.

BUT now files open and load slowly even though they've been
saved in the correct .wks format, not .xls used by Win XP.

Further, I cannot open Works itself either from a desktop
shortcut or from the .exe file itself. I get a message

"failed initializing (0xc0000142), close the program"

This is strange because the spreadsheet files that I saved
to desktop load slowly but properly.

Any ideas out there?
