Does Works 8 fix....

Posted: 14 Jul 2004 01:23 PM PDT

Hi Neil,

Seems that both these function correctly in Works 8.

Perhaps ensure that video and printer drivers are functioning correctly?

I notice that double-sided printing did not happen for me in Works 7,
though I only had chance to try it quickly, last night. I shall try a little
more today and let you know the outcome (in Works 7).

The resizing was not a problem in either Works 7 or Works 8.

Do you have the detials of the crash ?

HTH,

Works Load Time

Posted: 13 Jul 2004 06:12 AM PDT

I am using Works 2002 but I also have Word 2003 loaded.

I have to use Works 2002 because the people in the office don't want to convert all of their Works files to Word, so that is my delema. Otherwise I would happily convert everything to Word.

I recently crashed and had to re-install XP, still can't find MSword/office. I have a Compaq Presario 14 months old. I hope we can both find a solution to this pain in the laptop.. thanks

Hi BearSki,

If I understand you correctly :

You have Works 6 discs.

You have the Win Xp Pro operating system (reinstalled).

You cannot find a file (DVD LIST) that contains a listing of
your DVD collection, containing 417 entries ?

You have reinstalled Works 6.0.

If this is the case then perhaps this helps,

Place you CD/RW disc into the drive.

Open Windows explorer.

Start>Search>For Files or Folders

Set the Lookin to 'My Computer'

Enter the search item DVDLIST

If you are successful in finding this file then you may copy it to
your hard drive ( advisable) and/or double-click it to have
Works run and load it ready for use.

HTH,

Microsoft Works 4.5 and Label making

Yep, for sure David.
I'll keep the programs, but will uninstall them :)
It was only recently I found out I could copy and paste images
by CTRL C, CTRL V
prior to that I always moved them within explorer.

Makes one wonder just how many other little helpful hints
are lying within the OS, dormant and undiscovered.
Cheers

Winword.exe Causing DCOM Error (Word 2002)

Posted: 11 Jul 2004 07:20 AM PDT

You also might get a better response posting this in the
Windows Newsgroup. A DCOM is more of a Windows Problem
than a Works Suite problem. You might also want to call
you DSL company see if they know whats wrong.

XP , Works 6 - corruption file name

Posted: 10 Jul 2004 04:53 AM PDT

Hi Simon,

Perhaps create new user account in Windows XP.

Switch to this new account to start Works and see if
the issue continues.

( Also try with a new Administrator account).

HTH,

As for a place to store your backups, I prefer using a USB thumb drive. They
are small, easy to use, portable, and can be password protected. Although
they are a little more expensive, the price has been steadily falling.
