Spreadsheet Security

Be warned!
place the password number/name inside your printer case or
similar place within reach, you will at sometime forget it. guaranteed.

Works 7 - talk about rubbish!!

Posted: 14 Jun 2005 05:16 AM PDT

Hi Paul,

You may still Save as your spreadsheet to the .wks format.

Perhaps reinstall Works 4.x ( there's a 4.5a free upgrade
available on the Works download page).
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx#EnglishY2K

Provided Works 4.x is loaded after Works 7 you will be able
to use it with little or no problem.

HTH,

Serial Number Location

Posted: 13 Jun 2005 09:21 PM PDT

The MS OFFICE student/teacher trial is 30 days, you need to
spend about $125-150 to get a working version. Unless you
do a format, the trial won't reinstall after the 30 day
period.

The COA does list the WORKS PK, you said that. WORKS does
not include WORD, but that 30 day trial, which has expired,
does, it is asking you to either uninstall it or buy it.

Ken,

This is a batch file converter to MS Word - not to convert the existing MS
Works 4x file to V8.

Thank you, Kevin, I know this. What I meant, is: where can they be found
in the task manager? This I thought was meant by the original question.
In works 7 I had my templates in the task manager in list view. Very
convenient. In works 8 I solved the problem by making a folder on my
desktop with shortcuts to my templates, Works applications and most
important files like my address database. The only shortcut not needed
is the one to the taskmanager....

If you found that Reducing Hardware Acceleration helped, that also can mean
that you need to update your video driver for a more permanent solution. And
yes, this can be true of even a new computer...

using proofing tools

Hi snoopy,

As sure as I can be without trying it for myself.

The information has been passed on to me by a very reliable
source, however, before I passed on 20-30 packages to any
client of mine I would personally check it with one package.

Regards,
