Microsoft Works - Works 8.0 and Office97

Works 8.0 and Office97

Posted: 27 Jun 2005 11:35 AM PDT

Hi AR,

You will be able to transfer Office documents into their
associated Works programs, but please do remember that
Office provides a far wider range of features than Works
does and that you will likely not be content with the limited
facilities that Works provides in return.

In general, Works 8 will allow you to exchange data for simple
reviewing and editing purposes.
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/more/worktogether.mspx

Transfer of Excel spreadsheet may be unsatisfactory as Works
does not support the multiple spreadsheet model. It also does
not support many of Excel's advanced functions and features.

Similar for word processing, and incompatibilities do arise with
the transfer of files between Works and Word.

With regard to Access and Works databases, databases do not
comfortably interchange between the two though data may be used
to create new databases.

Perhaps upgrade to Office, for total flexibility between work and home.

Portfolio Toolbar

First of all, I'd like to say thank god I'm not going crazy!! Everyone keeps
telling me to unclick that box and I've checked, double checked and triple
checked...IT'S NOT THERE!! So glad you and Joe now see (or don't see) what
I'm talking about.

The first place I checked was in the startup folder...nothing there to
delete. I'll check out that Startup Control program you mentioned, but I
have to say BOOOOO...HISSSSSSS to Microsoft for eliminating that option and
forcing people to download ANOTHER program just to get rid of one of their
annoying toolbar!!! That's ridiculous!!!

Spread Sheet into Photoshop

Posted: 25 Jun 2005 01:34 AM PDT

Another option is to use a program, such as CutePDF
www.cutepdf.com to "print" the any document as a PDF file.
Elements can open a PDF file and even edit a PDF. CutePDF
is free.

| Hi Alastair,
|
| If the spreadsheet is viewed as a single page then the two
keys
| Alt + PrtScr
| will grab a screeen view of the spreadsheet and place it
on the clipboard.
|
| Paste into Photoshop Elements.
|
| For multiple sheets, take multiple "screen-captures", as
above and merge
| images.
|
| You may also highlight and copy an area from Excel into
Elements.
| The offered New image size is automatically calculated
based on the size
| of the object copied.

Works 8 Database Printing More Than One Record Per Page

Posted: 22 Jun 2005 05:19 AM PDT

Hi BikerMom,

Two copies of the single form are too large to fit on a single page.

Adjust margins
Adjust headers & footers
Reduce font size where able
Reduce record spacing ( manually input smaller size that that offered)
Shorten ( and widen ) large multi-lined 'description' field.
Use borderless printing if supported by the printer.

Solution e-mailed, an amended database edited as above, .

| Can works 8 co exist on the same pc as Office 2003?

Why is Microsoft still making Works?

Posted: 20 Jun 2005 08:37 PM PDT

I concur with the others. I don't need a huge office suite with a million
features and costing $500. Works does everything I need. I know how to use a
full-featured suite, & I simply don't need all that power.

Your CV (fancy term for resume') can be saved as a PDF file
using CutePDF www.citepdf.com which is a free program. It

works 8.0 does not recognize Win98se

HAHA

Works is stupid. I just changed my VersionNumber string in the registry to
reflect WinME and now it's installing. LOL

So for those of you who don't know where that is in the registry.

Hi Michelle,

Download this converter and install to your Word 2002 program, it will allow you to open .wps documents with Microsoft Word.

Like Rachael, I have a Works 2000 v5.0 question. I have v5.0 on my computer,
but I don't use it. Instead, I use Word 2002. However, I just got a ..wps
document from someone that I have been unable to open. I thought about
upgrading then realized there is no upgrade (without purchase). I have
checked out the various converters, but I'm not sure which one I should use.
And to add to it-I don't know what version of Works that the document I need
to open was created on. Any recommendations?

Thanks! Michelle

Creating Links within a Document

Posted: 19 Jun 2005 02:39 AM PDT

Show all hidden punctuation and characters, then you can
manually enter the HTML tags.
You must include a "name" tag at the spot you want to link
to on the page and have the hyperlink use that name as the
target. You can use the same name as a target as in "TOP"
so you can return to the top of the page, but otherwise each
place needs a unique name which can be anything.
<A HREF="2ndparagraph">Second Paragraph</A> links to <A
NAME="2ndparagraph"></A> Optionally you can show the text
Second Paragraph but it isn't needed. <A HREF="top">TOP</A>
and <A NAME="top"></A> will work, just put the name tag near
the top of the page and use as many HREF tags as you need.

MYM for Win

Posted: 18 Jun 2005 09:06 AM PDT

I recently moved to Money after about 20 yrs with MYM. Last release
was about 10 yrs ago, V 12.0 - was still a Dos vesion - used it until
I upgraded to Win XP, and it didn't seem to work well.

I have no regrets about Money - far more features than MYM

Thanks for the help! It worried me, because there is a "view results" button

Hi John N and eeyore,

The following information may help us to help you
(you may e-mail me direct at org if you wish.

Which country / state are you located.

What is the version of the HP printer driver.

How is the the printer attached (USB or which LPT port).

What driver options are selected ( a screen shot of driver settings ?).

If possible, a sample Works 8 SpreadSheet that won't print using
the printer.
