Works 8 vs 4.5a

Hi Tom,

Perhaps....

Mail Merge Demystified
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/more/mailmerge.mspx

and

How to perform a mail merge in Works
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832797

Not sure if you may need converters. Perhaps check the download site
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx

I have never used Works 4.5, but understand by reading messages in this news
group, mail merge in newer version is very different. You may want to stick
with the earlier version.

I'm new to works 8. Having lots of trouble doing a mail merge. Seems as
though works 8 can not read 4.5a. Any suggestions?

xp home edition

Posted: 05 May 2005 09:10 AM PDT

Hi Derek,

Windows XP is a operating system.

Microsoft Works and Microsoft Word are programs. Neither are part of the
operating system. Whom ever you acquired your computer from provided the
Microsoft Works program.

Sending documents on the internet can be frustrating. The receiver has to
have a program capable of opening the document.

Works by default saves a document with (*.wps) extension. One has to have a
program that supports (*.wps) extension to open it.

Most if not all Word Processor programs can open a document saved in Rich
Text Format.

To solve your problem....

Open it, then click File on the menu bar, then click Save As.

In the Save As dialog popup, click the down arrow for Save as type:, select
Rich Text Format (*.rtf), give the file a name then save it to a location of
your choice.

Open your mail program and attach the above saved file, send it, the
receiver with Word will be able to open it.

Ken

I have a new xp system whuch is driving me crazy..
I have typed out quite a few documents and mailed them out to people but
each time i have received a mail back telling me that they can not open it.
That it is not supported and to re send using word? I don't get it. Does
this
mean xp "microsoft works word processor" does not support the older word
versions?
This would seem rediculous so PLEASE HELP!!

wps document saved on A Drive cannot open file

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 07:35 AM PDT

Ritchie,

Sorry to steal your thunder, but i am having trouble actually posting a
question from scratch. Only seam to be able to reply to other questions
already posted. So Ritchie, i am sorry that i am not able to help you, but
maybe you or anyone else can help me.

I have recently bought a new computer, with no software as my old computer
had the software i need. Unfortunatley, i have just had a re-arrangement of
rooms etc & the box that works 2002 came in has gone missing. This is no big
deal, until i need to use word, at which point it asks for the product code,
which is on the back of the box!

So my question is, does anyone have a way around this? Is there a legal way
of getting this code from Microsoft?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Again Ritchie, sorry for crashing in on your uestion, & i hope you get the
help you need too!

Adding photo to Works database

Posted: 20 Apr 2005 05:18 AM PDT

Depending on the purpose,

Within Works Suite, one may use the WORD word processor with
internal-links-to-bookmarks, to navigate the document and link to
pictures, using:

Insert > Bookmark> at picture location

Insert > Hyperlink >Place in this document

|
| Keep the original .jpg file intact until you are satisfied with your
changes.
| Either rename the edited picture, or make a backup of the original.

You don't normally need to need to do anything special since Works can read the XLS files
directly, with some limitations.

Scanning in to Works 8

Posted: 18 Apr 2005 07:33 AM PDT

Aldus sprak Kenneth Milton op 18-4-2005 16:33:
 

In each new version of Works some features are removed, some introduced.
So upgrades in some respects are downgrades in other respects. I loved
version 4.5a, later versions miss features important to me: easy mail
merge, autohyphenation, easy format. In version 7 I had my own templates
in a list in the tasklauncher, in version 8 this has been made
impossible. In version 7 one could choose listview or iconview in the
tasklauncher, in version 8 this has been removed: only (monstrous) icons
now. Bugs are not corrected in newer versions. A bug in the database
filtering is in all versions: 4, 5 6, 7, and 8. I could go on like this
for a long time.

Try insert -> object and look for the word "scan". On my computer I
found "Photo editor scan" in Works 8. In Works 7 I had problems with
scanning. So I used Irfanview (freeware) to scan a photo and then
brought it in Works' wordprocessor via copy and paste.

Adding UPC Code to Created Labels

Thanks Tom in Naples,
I accept your comments, but not those by MS.
I use MSWorks for business.
I also get judged by my peers on the vehicle I choose,
as it is not a business vehicle,
My Morris Minor does me just fine, I march to my own drum :)
