Microsoft Works - overtype mode

Microsoft Works - overtype mode

overtype mode

Posted: 25 Sep 2004 09:49 PM PDT

Note You can intentionally or accidentally set Works Word processor to
Overtype mode by pressing the INS key on your keyboard. In Overtype mode,
new text you type removes existing text at the insertion point and the
letters OVR appear in the bar at the bottom of the Works Word processor
window. To switch in or out of this mode, press the INS key.

One can also put the mouse pointer over OVR and double click.

How do I stop the overtype mode? In 4.x it was in
options, now I can't find it. It seems to start up after
I've worked on a project for awhile. What gives?

Works 7.0 word processor won't open with blank page

Thanks Jim for the work-a-round, it works, however I still get the Untitled
Douument every time I click for a new blank page.
Now, at least, I am able to use the word processor. Thanks again---Al

unable to open old works files

Posted: 25 Sep 2004 02:02 PM PDT

There are converters for WORD that will handle the older
WORKS formats. Check on the OFFICE downloads site for the
converters.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b9e11e83-f51b-4977-b572-8c042df802c1&displaylang=en

You will find a large list on Google with this term (sans
quotes) "works word converter"

There are converters just so later versions of WORKS can
read old formats.

As far as I know, Works 6 doesn't create TZ3 files, unless you accidentally renamed the
file on saving.

If you like, you can e-mail me a sample TZ3 file and I'll take a look at it in my Works 6.
