How to convert MS-Works-MAC files to Windows-Version

Posted: 18 Sep 2004 06:19 AM PDT

Do the files that you got have any extension? On the Mac, file extensions are optional as
the Mac doesn't use them to determine file type. So your friend could have saved them
without any extension or with some other extension and they still would have worked on the
Mac. Having the expected file extension on Windows makes it easier to work with a file.

I'm not sure Works 7 still has the conversion filters to handle the Mac Works 3 files.
Apparently Works 4 does. Do you might need to get a copy of Works 4 and install that. I
understand it can coexist with Works 7. You can then open the Mac files in Works 4, and
then save them in a Windows version that Works 7 can use.

File Location Path Default

Posted: 16 Sep 2004 04:58 PM PDT

Oh, I see.
I have wind explorer in the quick launch bar
and always use that for launching <any> works file
I never work within the Works Launcher mode.
Possibly got into that habit when saving OE posts to
word proc, and needing to save to varied folders/HDD's.
at will.
Cheers

Hi Jim,

Depending on your specific requirements;

Press Enter a few times at the head of the text.

Change the margin and header settings.

Change the alignment for all text .

Insert your text into a text box and move the whole as one.

Insert your text into a number of text boxes and move these around.

Hi Sadie,

You may have Autoplay set to Take no Action (deactivated).

or perhaps,

Kevin,

Thanks so much. I downloaded and installed the exe patch
you referenced and it solved my Works problem. It's
working fine now. I appreciate it very much.
