Win98 "Find" engine~solved

Rodney, Whether a mistaken post or not, I figure you have earned the right
after all the years you have been helping out in this newsgroup. I am a
holdover from the days of Works 4.5 when you, Omar, Kevin and others used to
twist and wring every last bit of functionality out of the software and
share your results here. I still use Works daily, and have used Works on a
DOS, ME, 95 and 98se machine, and finally broke down this year and bought an
XP machine. I dread the day that Microsoft produces an operating system that
would not allow me to use 4.5.

As Microsoft changed the focus of Works, and this NG has evolved into a more
general NG with more OT questions from newbies, I have been glad to see new
folks such as Erik and Ken step up to help out the MVPs and other regular
posters. I also don't want to put down, or be 'mean' to folks like Craig who
have good intentions, but are sometimes less than helpful. We were all
newbies at one point, and should not be chided for ignorance of how these
newsgroups work or the occasional OT post given the gamut of software now
included in the Works Suite. In my opinion this is a place to learn, and
everyone should be encourged to participate...even Craig. I meant no
disrespect.

Anyway, I will continue to look for your posts and tips, and....which NG
does this other DavidF post in? With a name like that, he must be pretty
sharp <grin>. later...DavidF

CLIP OF ART PROBLEM!! HELP!

Posted: 06 Jul 2004 05:31 PM PDT

Hi Nancy,

To insert "any picture", then use Insert>Picture.

Browse to the file you require.

In Works 7, to insert ClipArt, you have the option of loading ClipArt
direct from the Works CD, to save hard disc (HD) space.

You may also, if space is not an issue, load the ClipArt onto your
HD and thereafter load ClipArt direct from the HD, saving time.

Copy the file: Wksv7std.sbs from the CDROM to your hard disc.
When asked, you can redirect Works to this new location.

HTH,

Math formula in Works

Posted: 06 Jul 2004 01:58 PM PDT

Hi Zim,

Perhaps this helps.

Say, cell A1 contains a value for x

Say, cell B1 contains a value for n

Then, this formula in cell C1 would return the desired.

=(1-A1)^B1

Autotyping protects you from making spelling mistakes and save you
lots of time, giving you accurate and fast typing.

Autotyping liberates you from the pain of typing by making you type
fast as you think.
Autotyping is a speed typing program that works with most of the
Windows programs to increase your typing speed and accuracy .
Autotyping can automatic shows the list of word that you are typing.
If you only remember part of word you are typing, all possible words
are listed for you to select and it can autocomplete the word. It also
autoexpands the shorthand into its full form. If you type a shorthand,
it will replace the shorthand prefix with its full text .

Hi Mischa,

Perhaps you need to reinstall the keyboard software/driver.

See Control Panel>Keyboard>Hardware>Troubleshooter
for assistance and details.

invalid printer driver when printing from MS Works

how can office user view wdb. file

Posted: 03 Jul 2004 09:21 PM PDT

You need to do a File, Save As to a format that other programs can use.

CSV (Comma Separated Values) text file can be read by any spreadsheet, data base or word
processing program. However, this will have just the data and none of the formatting.

You might also try a dBase format (DBF). Most data base programs can read this and it
contains some of the formatting.

go bite your bum.

It has been a common workaround for password protection
of Works files to employ winzip.

Microsoft Works (My Projects)

Posted: 02 Jul 2004 07:28 PM PDT

Hi Kourosh,

Right-click, copy and paste operates correctly in the 'To Do List' item,
but not in the 'Notes' section.

In the 'To Do List', once in edit mode can edit as desired.

Ctrl+C, Ctrl + V and Ctrl+X are available in the Notes section.

limitation of the number of characters within the text and title. I wonder
whether you can use the right click when you are editing a text and use the
copy and paste function.

It is sometimes possible to recover data using QuickView95, or later.
