What I said. "Type the font size (say 4) into the box (where it says 8, say)
and press ENTER"

Works fine.

Merging Databases

Posted: 14 Dec 2005 06:02 PM PST


BTW
if you, (like me) have over 200 fields
and need to enumerate them for checking.

Create a report (just use "Report1")
on the first option re fields inclusion in the report click "add all"
then click "done"

copy the row of all the field names to clipboard
paste to a word proc document
click "show characters"
then do an ALT E E
carry out a replace of all ^T with ^P

all your field names will be in a list down the page

| Easy peasy.
|
| firstly just make sure both databases are mirror imaged
| on field postions
|
| eg: Field 1 (say color) in DB1 matches field 1 (color) in database 2
| Field 23 (say total cost) in DB1 matches field 23 (total cost) in database 2
|
| When you have confirmed this, just <select all> in the
| secondary database (the primary database must contain the
| confirmed field positions and the correct field formats/formulas)
|
| copy the secondary database
| and paste into the first cell of the first blank row
| of the primary database.
|
| Check for confirmation of field positions
| you may have to re-initialise the formulas
| by simply selecting the whole field in question, and hitting "delete"
|
| when you are happy with the result
| now is the time to check for duplicate entries.
|
| ALWAYS ALWAYS make a copy of the two databases
| as a backup, in case of errors of process
|
| (I use a temp folder when carrying out this procedure)
|
| MSWorks will only hold 32,000 records

WORKS WEBSITE - Revamped

Posted: 13 Dec 2005 12:35 PM PST

Hi DavidF,

My point being, and in particular is, related to this paragraph:

"[...] if you took it away from them, they'd say, "You can't take that
away from me." Breakthroughs are critical for us. All we get paid for
are breakthroughs, because people who have our software today can
keep using it forever and not pay us another dime."

Whilst we have Works 4.5a, and it can do what we require, then we
need not buy a newer version - particularly if that newer version does
not have the "breakthrough" technology that we seek. Or, as in our case,
the past functionality was taken away from us.

I was attempting (badly, so it seems) to support the statements you made
and as I had recently read this article and similar ( Office 12 and XML)
http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/developers/fileoverview.mspx
I thought you would be interested in reading it too.

This seems to be the situation that many uses of Works 4.5a find
themselves in; particularly with regard to mail merge formatting and
text wrapping.

Regards,

Perhaps.

The Calendar may stop responding when you try to start Works Calendar

Hope this helps,
