| Posted: 12 Jun 2004 10:35 PM PDT 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 |
| Posted: 12 Jun 2004 07:39 AM PDT Could be the Winfax Pro program and not Works 6.0. Have you tried Symantec's Support Site since they make the program. (about it Anybody |
| 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. |
| 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 -- com.au (Remove gum to reply) "Dawn" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1b53101c44fe6$466b5c50$gbl... | Is there a way to change the items on the task launcher? | There are many items there I don't need and would like to | eliminate - even just to archive, but not to see. |

| 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 6.0 Calendar and printer. I have to message |
| Posted: 11 Jun 2004 05:45 AM PDT Hi John, Also, to have the Calendar open on StartUp: Copy a shortcut to the Works Calendar file (WksCal.exe) into your StartUp folder. HTH, -- Kevin James.

| 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. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "brs" <com> wrote in message news:t4hyc.3979$bigpond.net.au... |
| 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. |
| 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 ) HTH, -- Kevin James.

| 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. HTH, -- Kevin James.
