Microsoft Works - Missing task launch bar in Works 8.0

Microsoft Works - Missing task launch bar in Works 8.0

Missing task launch bar in Works 8.0

Posted: 09 Mar 2006 08:50 AM PST


Let me guess. You have an Acer laptop (Aspire series).

Use the following steps:

1. Click on Start, and then click Run

2. Type "regsvr32.exe msxml3.dll" without the quotes, then OK

3. You will receive a message that the registration has succeeded.

4. You must restart your computer first before testing Microsoft Works
again.

5. If this does not resolve the issue, download the latest XML parser
version (MSXML 3.0 SP7) by using the following link
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=28494391-052b-42ff
-9674-f752bdca9582&DisplayLang=en>.

Hi there,
We are a retail store and have had many Acer laptops come back with the
same problem. After 25 minutes on the phone to Microsoft the very
helpful tech guy at the other end fixed the problem.

It seems that Acer's software is faulty (they didn't want to hear about
it though) and you'll need to register the MS XML Parser to make it
work.

To do this, you just need to go to Start -> Run then type "regsvr32
msxml3.dll" without the quotes, then click 'Ok.'

You should get a message telling you that it succeeded. If this doesn't
work, just go to Microsoft's Website and download the latest XML Parser
version, then install it.

Hope this helps.

OK, thanks for the reply. I gave it a try and it works fine. That is just
what I needed. So glad I came here and found this. It is great to have such
helpful folks around.

Thanks again to all,

Upper case and lower case

If are unable to view the forms in this post then your Outlook Express is configured to Read all messages in Plain Text.

Open Outlook Express, choose Tools, on it's menu choose Options. In the Options dialog window, select the Read tab, uncheck "Read all messages in plain text", click Apply, click OK. Close Outlook Express.

Open Outlook Express and view this message.

Hi,

From the previous post I tried the first listed shortcut from the Command List, it functions okay in my Works Word Processor version 6.0.

I also tried the last listed shortcut and it also function okay in my Works Word Processor.

First command
Command Name
Modifiers
Key
Menu

About


Help

All Caps
Ctrl+Shift+
A




Last command
Word Underline
Ctrl+Shift+
W




I do not know how many of the commands in between the first and last will function in Works Word Processor.

|
|
| 1. Choose Macro from the Tools menu, and then Macros from the resulting

|
| 2. Using the Macros In drop-down list, choose Word Commands.
|
| 3. In the list of commands at the top of the dialog box, choose
| ListCommands.
|
| 4. Click Run. You'll see the List Commands dialog box.
|
| 5. Select which type of listing you want, then click OK.
|
| Depending on which option you choose in step 5, the listing you create could
| be very long. (A listing of all commands could run almost twenty pages.)
| Either way, the resulting document includes all the shortcut key assignments
| for Word.
| ------------------------
|
| As to Works Word processor shortcut keys, I do not know where one can find a
| similar list.
| ------------------------
|
| Another thought...... Using keyboard
|
| Alt+ underline character will display it's menu or activate the command.
|
| For instance... "Alt+o" will display Format menu, then "F" will display Font
| dialog window, Then alt+A will put a check mark for All Caps.

Works 4.5 for Windows 95 Address Database

Posted: 06 Mar 2006 12:16 AM PST

Hi,

I have neither Works 4.5 nor Outlook 2003.

What I would try to do is save the Works 4.5 address book as a .csv (comma
separated text file) then import that file into Outlook.

Open Works address book, choose File, on it's menu choose Save As. In the
Save As dialog window, click the down arrow for Save as Type: select
(*.csv), click Save.

Open Outlook


Select File>Import and Export >Import from Another Program or File


Select above saved Comma Separated Values file.

Hope this helps.

License? am I going to be beat for the code?

Posted: 04 Mar 2006 06:30 PM PST


Thank you, to all who have responded.

You gave me lots of ideas, lots of things to think about, but most likely,
what is going to happen is that I'll follow the consensus, and just call
Dell! Even though that has its negative possibilities!

Sincerely,

This computer is using WindowsMe operating system.

Outlook Express is version 6
