Microsoft Works Calendar 6.0 Posted: 27 Jun 2004 08:13 AM PDT Hi "anonymous", Perhaps the Mswkscal.wcd file is located in this folder: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Works These utilities clear the way prior to a Works reinstall: Works: Utilities to Help with Troubleshooting Works http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=297061 HTH, -- Kevin James.

Works crashes my PC Posted: 27 Jun 2004 06:07 AM PDT older versions of Works (6.0?) have a "web update" feature that tries to go up to the internet to check for updates. Perhaps this and the firewall don't like each other? see if you can turn off the web update, check the Task Launcher for an Options dialog or something. I don't have the old one anymore, so can't check. start |
Works Suite 2000 and XP Home Posted: 26 Jun 2004 08:02 PM PDT I'm wondering; did you actually open the KB Article and see this? CAUSE This behavior can occur when both of the following are true: The original .wks spreadsheet file has a backup file; it is the same file name but with a .bks extension. -and- The .bks file is open when you save the .wks file. NOTE: This error message is incorrect because Works is actually unable to access the .bks file, not the .wks file. RESOLUTION To work around this issue, follow these steps: Switch to the .bks file. On the File menu, click Close. Switch to the .wks file. On the File menu, click Save. Now that the .bks file is closed, Works is able to save the changes made in the .wks file. Thought you might have read only the paragraph of the results page generated by your search. so, Home. old |

Importing Posted: 26 Jun 2004 09:45 AM PDT As I recall on a WindowsXP system mswkscal.wcd is located... C:\ Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Works. Also think Application Data is a hidden folder on WindowsXP. Assure "Show hidden files and folders" is ticked on the View tab via folder options. Ken "Ken" <ne> wrote in message news:%phx.gbl...

By that I mean that I went to the CD and copied the file, mswkscal.wcd into the directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Works Shared, and I found that two things occurred. First, the file didn't replace anything, because mswkscal.wcd never existed in this directory in the first place. Second, the problem of the old calendar database still existed pervaded. I reinstalled Microsoft Works 6.0 into the default directory, by the way, after manually erasing all its traces after uninstallation via add/remove programs. |
Works Task Launcher Link to Streets & Trips Broken? Posted: 26 Jun 2004 07:58 AM PDT problem here is that the version of Works you have uses a different task technology than S&T 2004. Suite 2004 has a new Task Launcher and so S&T 2004 matches it. Works 8.0 would work with you're version of S&T. Or Suite 2005 has newer versions of S&T and the other applications (except Word is still same). system, |

replace text in table Posted: 24 Jun 2004 04:09 PM PDT Well, I worked on this for an hour or so and found the problem as follows...when i replaced the paragraph marker (a special character in the replace drop down list), it not only replaces the paragraph markers (indicated by a paragraph symbol) but also replaced the hard return symbol that the word processor uses to signify end of data in a table column. When these are replaced, the word processor hangs. Solution was to manually delete the paragraph symbols (find/replace one at a time), but leave the hard returns. Conversion from table to database was completed sucessfully. The paragraph markers must be deleted or the file converter starts putting the table columns in the wrong database fields during file conversion. Originally, I created the paragraph symbols in the table (via enter key) to create new lines within a column. |
Works 7.0 word processor saving Posted: 24 Jun 2004 10:01 AM PDT Hi Philip, Interesting problem, perhaps uninstall - reinstall will help. You may also want to run the Works Clean-up Utility. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=297061 Ken "Philip" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:215d301c45a8d$4f06f0c0$gbl... Ken, Thanks, but that is the problem; I cannot save as in any other format besides Works. I have tried every available pulldown in "save as" and the system reverts to a Works format. Somehow the system seems to be corrupted. Perhaps I need to re-load the s/w. Any advise? Thanks, Phil to save the file, select .rtf for "Save as file to your message message |
Inserting Text on an Image Posted: 24 Jun 2004 09:01 AM PDT Dear Josh, text frames are not transparent. What you could do, is a writing in a Wordart frame. It is transparent, and you can do with the characters as you like. Don't forget to go to format, object and make the picture and wordart frame floating. Erik.
