Works 2000 won't open Task Launcher?????

Posted: 14 Jan 2006 06:48 PM PST

Hi Lil,

I have Works Suite 2001 on a WindowsMe operating system.

Works calendar data is in file mswkscal.wcd, located on my system at
C:\WINDOWS\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Works. Copy this file to a
safe place for backup.

I think for Windows 2000 and XP mswkscal.wcd is located...
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Works.

I also think on Windows XP the Application Data folder is a hidden folder so
be sure to tick "Show hidden folders and files" in Folder Options.

For other ways to backup calendar see....

WPS files

Just another thing to try -- Microsoft Word Viewer 2003. It's a free
download, at

or http://tinyurl.com/3qlb4

This is strictly a viewer -- you then have to cut and paste the document to
a word processor if you want to work with it. It's supposed to read .wps
files from Works 6 and 7.

Works 2006 vs 2005 Calendar

Thanks for the response. Yes, you are getting me right.

Possible to format Calendar output? Or calender template for wordprocessor?

Posted: 11 Jan 2006 10:45 AM PST

No I didn't. I'll give it a try and report back, but not tonight.
So does Works somehow print through IE or as if its output is HTML?
Thanks for the idea!

I just opened the Calendar, and if the dates as printed page scaled to the
same size relative to the printed boxes as the font on the screen relative
to boxes on screen (remember I'm looking at a month) I'd be happy --not
ecstatic, I'd like a bit larger, but ok with it. The numerals on the
printout are about half as big as on the screen, even though the printed
page is about 40% bigger than on the screen.

.wps document borders don't show in received emails

Found on PrimoPDF forum by micmos85:
http://forums.primopdf.com/showthread.php?t=367

Alright, I think I've got a simple, working solution. I had the same problem
but have now installed and printed on both Win98 and WinME.

Just a warning, on Win98 the installer overwrites my msvcirt.dll file with a
WinXP version that doesn't work. You may want to back it up first. I had to
restore it with the sfc utility.


1. Install the program normally.

2. Copy the primomon95.dll and primomon.hlp files from the C:\Program
Files\activePDF\PrimoPDF\primomon directory into the C:\Windows\System
directory.

3. Add this entry to the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro
l\Print\Monitors\PrimoMon]
"Driver"="primomon95.dll"

4. Repeat step 1.

After re-installing, I had a working PrimoPDF printer on both Win98 and
WinME.

I hope the installer gets fixed soon, but this seems to work in the
meantime. Hope this helps.

Microsoft Works 4.5 to 8.0

Posted: 10 Jan 2006 08:15 AM PST

Hi Wayne,

The word processor in Works 8 does allow database fields to be
selected. However, a major issue with Works (versions post 4.5)
is that, during the mail-merge process, numbers lose their formatting.

Of course, there are workarounds but this should not be necessary
in a suitably-featured Works 'suite' program.

HTH,

Wordart allows one to put a text over a picture. A textframe does not
have a transparent background. So Wordart is very useful in the Works
Wordprocessor. It is a shame that it has been removed. MS tells us that
it is a 16-bit subprogram. This is a shame in itself in a 32-bit
program. Moreover MS is not at all clear about the security issue that
is the reason for the removal.

I downloaded the patch, but decided not to apply it.It is too much of a
downgrade.

wmf files in works 2000

Posted: 07 Jan 2006 10:57 AM PST

Hi,

My wkpr60.exe digital signature and/or certificate info also displays
expired(11/24/03). However when I installed it in 2003 it was valid.

You mention error message stating missing files, have you thought about
using the clean up utilities?
http://support.gateway.com/s/SOFTWARE/MICROSOF/sHARED/7513181faq24.shtml

In reference to works update detector and wkufind.exe, "Answer That Work"
has some info about them, see the following....

MS Works Spreadsheet - Printing Issues and Out of Memory

Posted: 06 Jan 2006 01:17 PM PST

In addition to Ken, there may be a situation in your \Temp folder causing this
problem which would be corrected by deleting the contents of that folder. Only
do this immediately after a reboot.
