Hi

Thanks for your reply. I have Word 6 but it does not recognise WPS files.
I am using Open Office for my normal wordprocessing, and that doesn't
recognise the files either (using the approach you describe). In
desperation I am hoping someone who has Works would open and save the files
for me.

dark shadow lines in computer window

Posted: 03 Apr 2005 11:39 AM PDT

Sounds like a hardware problem in the monitor. Can you
borrow a monitor from a friend to see if the problem "goes
away" or remains? It could be a power problem in the
monitor, a bad cable letting outside signals into the
monitor or problems with the settings on the monitor. If
you have a manual for the monitor, check to see that the
settings are correct.

You can use any size monitor to check. Another thought,
make sure the video resolution and refresh rate are properly
set at a reasonable point, 1024x768, 1200x900 should allow
you to have 75-85 Hz refresh rate, if you are running a very
high resolution you might only be able to get 60 Hz refresh
rate and that can be seen by the human eye, especially if
you have lights that strobe at the same rate reflecting on
the screen.

I need spanish spellchecker for Works 7

Posted: 03 Apr 2005 05:39 AM PDT

To Eltino,
Google for "ms works spell check Spanish"
and found this
http://www.allvirtualware.com/languages/slink.htm
there are 404,000 pages of Google hits, this one was in the
top 5.

If you need WORD, the least expensive way to get it is in
the WORKS Suite (as little as $70 on-line, check
www.pricewatch.com or get the full standard OFFICE Student
Teacher version for about $125-150.)

All spellcheckers are very dumb, they will usually not catch
grammar errors and you should only depend on getting a good
grade from your teacher if you personally proof read the
paper after you use the computer spell check to catch gross
errors.

WORD will do a better spell check than WORKS.

Hi Rodney,

It is a matter of encoding.

I used OE's RichText (HTML) and Unicode options allow you to send the
following Euro characters.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?


Viewing depends on the settings on the recipients machine:

Also, OE has the decode viewer option Format>Encoding

Works 7 & 8 on the same computer

Posted: 30 Mar 2005 12:29 AM PST

Associations refers to File Associations and which program opens which item;
i.e DOC files open with what, TXT files, etc.

There maybe certain files associated with works and as you want to switch
beteen versions you'll have to remember how to do the associations manually.
Look at Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types for a list of what I'm
talking about.

Unable to save Works 7.0 onto W98SE Operating System

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 07:51 AM PST

Mark,

I know little about networks, but follow the MS Publisher newsgroup in
addition to this one and others. There was a thread about a poster having
problems with saving a Publisher file across a network. Perhaps it will give
you some insight as to possible network settings that you can change. I will
post it below. DavidF

Users are having issues saving Pub 98 files to the network and I found that
it was not designed for that:

"Yes, I spoke with our server group and they don't want to test that, but I
resolved the issue. I just granted my test account Power User access and
full
admin access to the temp dirs and now there are no errors on saving on/off
the network.

MS Works and Windos XP

Posted: 28 Mar 2005 03:55 AM PST

MS Works is not included with any version of Windows.

Some PC manufacturers include MS Works with their PCs as a bonus to the customers. This
is more likely with a home PC rather than a business PC. And if it did come with a
business PC, most businesses would likely delete it since they use other software for the
same purpose.

As for your problem, the best thing to do at home is a File, Save AS to RTF format. Then
e-mail that file to work. Most word processors can read the RTF format.

Works 8 and multiple windows

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 07:21 PM PST


Just so you won't think I never figured this out <G>, it appears one has to
first open docs via the Works main page, then close that (dumb) page
completely. What happens is that the documents remain there, hidden because
they are stacked upon each other, and one can get to them with Alt+Tab -ing.

I guess I wouldn't mind this so much if the "help" options had mentioned
there is no "windows" command or tiling ability, assuming none of us ever
used a Works program before. I guess those who created version 8 had never
used the older versions and thus didn't even know what they were omitting.

Thanks for the thoughts, guys. Begam

WS 2002, Office 2003 & XP Pro

Posted: 23 Mar 2005 10:07 PM PST

Thanks Kevin........
I'll t ry that. I did try the second suggestion, the site.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317904
But when I reinstalled Works Suite, the same thing happened.

I would like to know if I will have a problem trying to install Works Suite
2005 over Office 2003, givrn Office 2003 uses Word 2003, yet the 2005 Works
uses Word 2002.........WHY YOU ASK??? WHO KNOWS.....PROBABLY TO INFLICT THE
MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF PAIN TO WINDOWS USERS AS POSSIBLE.

I have a feeling I'll end up having to pay Microsoft for phone support
regarding this issue, unless there is someone out there that knows.

I do appreciate everyone's efforts to help me solve this.

foreign characters don't display properly

Posted: 23 Mar 2005 10:07 AM PST

Kevin,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I understand that spreadsheet and
database are ANSI, but I’m still puzzled by two things:

Does this mean Works 2000 was Unicode, since the characters display properly
with it?

Why don’t spreadsheet and database accept the ANSI codes for the proper
characters when I enter them?

I may be beating a dead horse with this one, but it’s either solve this or
move my data to Access or (gasp!) Paradox, so I want to be sure I’ve
exhausted all possibilities. Another idea would be to upgrade to Works 2005
Suite just for this, but are spreadsheet and database any different in that?

Most likely a small shop building to your specs does not
have a record keeping system in place to track your PK and
serial numbers for hard or software. A big company doesn't
either, but they probably have a large block of numbers they
can use.

You can look on www.pricewatch.com and find OEM PK licenses
for sale. That may become your best option, good luck.
