Message Rules

Posted: 02 Jan 2006 10:47 PM PST

The most common cause of rules not working properly is due to a
misunderstanding of how rules work. When a message first arrives, it is
checked against the first rule in the list, then the second, then the third,
etc. until it encounters the end of the list or the Action "stop processing
more rules". This means that a message may be a hit for more than one rule!
Not only that, a rule may specify more than one action (except those actions
which stop the message from being downloaded at all). OE4 stopped processing
rules automatically as soon as a message was a hit. If you install OE as an
upgrade and select to import rules, many of your rules will stop working
until you add "stop processing more rules" to the list of Actions in that
rule.

If you use a rule that moves a message to another folder, that rule must
include "stop processing more rules" in order for the move to occur. Without
the stop action, the message is checked against the rule, found to be a hit,
but then is checked against all following rules. In order to be tested
against rules, the message must remain in the Inbox, and so the desired move
never occurs.

Another consideration is the order in which rules appear in the list. If a
rule does not work, it is often a simple matter of moving the rule higher so
that it is processed before other rules.

Using AND conditions instead of OR conditions is another common mistake. For
example, suppose you want to prevent mail from friends from being processed
by anti-spam rules (using rules to filter IN valid mail instead of trying to
filter OUT junk mail). If your rule reads

Where the From line contains 'friend1' and 'friend2'
Stop processing more rules.

then your rule will never do anything at all because it is not possible for
a mail message to have BOTH 'friend1' AND 'friend2' in the From line. The
rule should read

Where the From line contains 'friend1' or 'friend2'
Stop processing more rules.

To switch between AND and OR in a condition, click on the blue underlined
string to open the Add dialogue. After you have entered at least one item,
the Options button will be available. Click that to select whether the
conditions uses AND or OR. This is also where you can specify whether the
rules applies when the string IS or IS NOT.

Importing Works DB into Outlook 2003 Contacts

Posted: 31 Dec 2005 05:56 AM PST

You can save the Works DB as a CSV ( comma separated values ) file. I think
outlook can read CSV files. You might have to download an Add on software or
something if you dont have it installed already.

This is worth a try.

Installing MS Office Student and Teacher Edition on PC with MS Wor

Posted: 30 Dec 2005 10:43 PM PST

If you like Works, but also need an application that does Presentations I
would recommend OpenOffice from www.openoffice.org. I use this with my Works
program to "Fill in the Gaps" without having to purchase Office. They work
fine together. Good luck.

Download OpenOffice.org. It is free and almost has the same features as
Microsoft Office. It will read and create Office files.

Works 8 Spell Check?

Posted: 29 Dec 2005 03:32 PM PST

The spell checker for Works 4 through 6 will function in OE, but not
newer or older versions.

See the software section of the URL in my signature for some freeware
and shareware spell checkers that will work in OE.

Word Program Deleted

Your best option is to buy a retail version of software that
you want to have. You can buy at a retail store or on-line.
WORKS version number (x) can be found on store shelves or
any version can often be found on-line. It does not include
Microsoft WORD or other OFFICE applications. It is designed
for basic home and school work at the grade or high school
level and small office functions with just a basic flat file
database and spreadsheet.
WORKS SUITE includes a selection of software, including WORD
in addition to the WORKS word processor.
You can get various versions of OFFICE or just the parts
such as WORD or EXCEL.
There are student discounts and you can buy some hardware
piece and also an OEM version which once installed is not
licensed to me moved to another machine.

Borrowing your friends software is not approved procedure.

If you are running ME, you may need to have some additional
files to get an install...and WORD will not install without
the proper version of WORKS installed or without an OFFICE
program already installed. The exact error message would be
helpful.

Hi Kevin

MS OS XP Home SP2

Windows XP Home Product Lifecycle is from 31/Dec/2001 until 31/Dec/2006

I have an unopened OS CD box that I will eventually install one day, do I
have to do this before 31/Dec/2006, or the activation may not be available?

"Vista" is waiting in the wings to enter front stage!
Hope I don't buy a Vista CD box and let that go past its "use by date".

How about MS calls the next OS following Vista, "Panorama" for all the
widescreen monitor folks, that are now using aspect ratio 2.35:1 Cinema
Widescreen on 81-122cm monitors which is wider than standard digital TV at
aspect ratio of 16:9 (1.77:1)

Don't forget that a lot of Apples are now displaying at 2.35:1 on supersized
112-122cm monitors. MS has to keep up with the Jones sorry Apples.

I would really like to see MS blow the HD WS PC TV Apples folks out of the
water.
