Microsoft Works - HTML

HTML

That's not a feature of WordPad.

If you have a recent version of Microsoft Word, that can do a Save As to
HTML format.

Both Microsoft Word and WordPad use DOC as the default file format.

WordPad is a barebones word processor include in Windows. It supports
only a tiny fraction of the features of Word.

I suspect that your Open University course expects to you use MS Word
and not WordPad.

Since you posted in a Microsoft Works newsgroup, do you have Works? If
so, what version? My Works version 6 has the ability to read Word DOC
files and can also Save As to HTML format.

Calendar backup

The Microsoft website says that calendar settings are stored in
Mswkscal.wcd. I did a search, with hidden files turned on, and the file is
not on my harddisk.

Can anyone tell me the correct name of the file so that I can back it up?

I'm using Works 6.0 on WinXP, SP2. Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

Mswkscal.wcd should be located "C\DocumentsandSettings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Works" on a Windows XP operating system.
I'll be damned. Yup, it's there. I've just created the backup.

Thanks so much!

Microsoft Works 7.0 Word Processor - installing additional diction

Posted: 24 Mar 2006 06:03 PM PST

Hi Guy,

Jammer genoeg, dat is plaatsen niet facultatief in de Werken 7
maar is beschikbaar binnen de Reeks 2006 van de Werken (Word 2002).


Unfortunately, that setting is not optional in Works 7 but is available
within Works Suite 2006 (Word 2002).

HTH,

Microsoft Work 8.5 Upgrade Eligible

Posted: 24 Mar 2006 12:22 AM PST

I am not sure what you have been referring to when you said "No reason I
can see it wouldn't qualify" but the question is about whether Works 8.5
will be a qualifying product for upgrade to Office 2003. The short
answer is no because for any upgrades, the qualifying program needs to
be hard wired in the setup.exe. This being the case, Office 2003 was
released well before Works 8.5 and so I can't see it would qualify for
upgrade to Office 2003.

To make things worse, Microsoft staff will not be able to help as they
don't email special setup files when ever there is a problem.
Contacting them is also a nighmare when you don't know which department
to contact.

The OP will need to buy Works 6, 7 or 8 from AMAZON if it is still being
sold for a sausage! otherwise it is not worth getting it.

Envelopes not printing correctly

Posted: 23 Mar 2006 12:49 PM PST

Hi,

The following copied from a previous post in this newsgroup.

Ken
---------------

I had a similar trouble, thing printed RED on envelopes only, contacted
LEXMARK support & this is what they said. PS: It fixed trouble.
Dave

Dear David,


Thanks for using our electronic support to assist you with this issue.


The problem you are experiencing is caused by the way the text is formatted
in most word processing documents. By default envelopes are printed not in
black, but a dark gray. This confuses the printer and causes it to use the
color cartridge to process gray instead of using the black cartridge. You
can fix this problem with one of 2 ways.


Please select the "Black" only option following the steps given below:


1. Click on "Start," "Control Panel" and click on "Printers and Faxes."


2. Right click on the "Lexmark printer icon" and select "Properties."


3. Select "Printing Preferences," click on the "Quality/Copies" tab and
choose "Print Color Images in Black and White."


4. Select "OK."


You can also change the color of your text to a true black in your word
processor. This will require you to resort to the word processor's
documentation and help files.


Both of these settings will cause your printer to use the black cartridge
instead of the color. If either one of these solutions solves your problem,
it means your color cartridge needs to be cleaned or replaced. If you feel
that the color cartridge should not be out of ink please try the following:


1. Go to the "Lexmark solution center." This can be done by clicking on
"Start," go to "Programs" and Lexmark printer group. Click on the "Lexmark
Solution center." Next click on the "Maintenance" Tab.


2. Select "Clean and Fix Horizontal streaks." This will produce a printed
page.


The colors that you should see here are black, yellow, magenta (a reddish
purple) and cyan (a dark sky blue). You should notice the diagonal lines
above and below the solid horizontal lines. These diagonal lines should be
solid from left to right with no gaps.


If there are gaps in the lines or the print diminishes across the page, you
should run the "Clean Print Nozzle" page a couple more times to try and
clear it up. If you still have gaps at the top and bottom, you should
"wick" the cartridges by following the steps given below:


1. Please open the "Solution center" again and go to the "Maintenance" Tab.


2. Select "Install color/black cartridge" and remove the cartridge or
cartridges from the printer.


3. Get a damp paper towel.


4. Set the ink cartridge right side up on the damp paper towel so that the
ink nozzles are against the towel and hold the cartridge in this position
for about 15 seconds.


5. Now wipe the print head (on the bottom where the ink comes out) across
in one direction only (left to right) until it looks clean.


6. Next dab the cartridge on the towel to make sure that the ink is
flowing.


7. Snap the cartridges back into the printer.


8. On your computer, select "Old Cartridge install."


9. Repeat the "Clean Nozzle Page" one more time. If this fails to address
the problem the entire procedure may need repeating.


If you have any more questions or concerns, please contact me at your
convenience and I will be happy to assist you. (If I am not available,
another representative will reply to you as soon as possible.) To respond,
please select "Reply" in your e-mail software, and be sure that the past

Works 7.0 mail merge Labels

Posted: 23 Mar 2006 07:08 AM PST

Hi Linda,

After using the following instructions do you still have the problem?

Ken
-----------------------

Mailing Labels using the Works Word Processor

1. Get a blank word processing screen in the Works Word Processor

2. Get the Tools menu and click on Labels (not on mail merge) then on the
bottom button for mailing labels and on OK.

3. Select the label size you want and click on New Document.

4. Click on the box for Merge information from another type of file and
select your database as the source or the address book.

5. Now you will see a page of labels the upper left one will be white and
the others shaded. Use the Insert Fields dialogue box to insert the fields
you want on your label in the white label.

6. Click on View Results and you will see the first label in the white
space. Scroll with the scroll bar at the bottom of the View Results dialogue
box to see all the labels in succession.

7. Click on Print Preview to see all of the labels on the pages. If you need
to edit any label you will need to go back too View Results and scroll to
the label to edit. This way you can change the font or color on any label.

8. If you want to change the font for all of the labels or have the print
colored go to the Edit menu, click on Select All and select the font and
color you want for all of the labels.

9. Print the labels on plain paper first to be certain they fit on the label
paper. You may have to adjust margins to make them fit.

Downloading clip art from MS web site to Works 8

Posted: 21 Mar 2006 02:48 PM PST

Hi,

I copied the following from my Works version 6.0 Word Processor help.

Perhaps you did not use Complete installation when installing Works, if not, Clip Gallery is not installed.

If you install Clip Gallery it can be accessed via Start >Programs >Microsoft Clip Gallery. Via's it's Help there is instruction on how to acquire/download and install more clips.

Ken
Add a picture using the Clip Gallery
Why use the Clip Gallery?
You can use the Clip Gallery to preview a variety of pictures, photographs, sounds, and motion clips that you can insert into your document.
If Works was installed using the Complete installation (recommended) option, Works installed approximately 150 pictures (also called clip art) and more than 10,000 thumbnails (a miniature representation of a file, text, or image) on your computer. Because all thumbnails for the Clip Gallery were installed, you can see all the clip art available in Works. If you choose to insert clip art that is represented only by a thumbnail, Works will prompt you to insert the Works compact disc (CD-ROM) so you can insert the picture into your document.

1 Click in the document where you want to insert a picture.

2 On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click Clip Art.

3 If it is not already selected, click the Browse tab.

4 Under Select a category, click the category you want.
You can refine your search by choosing a sub-category under Select a sub-category, or a type of clip under Select a media type.


5 Click the picture you want, and then click Insert.
If the picture you want to insert is on the Works compact disc, you will be prompted to insert the disc containing the clip into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. After you insert the compact disc, Works will find the picture you want and insert it into your document.


Tips


a.. You can also add clip art to a document by clicking Insert Clip Art on the toolbar (a row of buttons near the top of a window that you can click to perform an action, such as to print or save a document).

b.. To resize clip art and maintain a picture's proportions, click the clip art object to select it, click a corner handle, and then drag (click the object you want to resize, click one of the small boxes surrounding the object, hold down the mouse button, move the mouse until the object is the size you want, and then release the mouse button) it until the object is the size you want.

3 fields in a database

Hi LC,

Not sure if what I do is applicable for you.

On one of my forms there is a group of four fields but I only want info into
one those fields.

What I have is if an entry is made in one field the other three fields will
display "xxxxxx", keeps me from entering info into those other fields.
