Dear Erik,

Oops !

Sorting problem in Works 6.0 Database

Posted: 11 Apr 2006 02:23 PM PDT

The replace will work only if you format
the field first, (to "general" or "number")
Then, it will only replace the " on text, that will revert to numeric.

If your initial character is Alpha, and the rest numeric,
you can isolate the first character by a "LEFT" formula
(in another field) the copy and paste the value only.

That's what I would do if you have thousands to correct.

Post back with your progresss

Can you filter, then mailmerge in Works 7?

Posted: 10 Apr 2006 11:51 PM PDT

Thanks for this. Although it's not quite clear I realised you meant to look
in the Tools menu in the Word Processor where you have the label set up.
Sure enough there I found Filter and Sort. I had not thought of doing the
filter and sort in the Word Processor. Great. I'm very grateful to you.

Hmmm.... Again, you are correct. I should have noticed. The startup logo
changed dramatically; it is now green, (but maybe I can be forgiven, it does
flash past very rapidly). Anyway, after putting it off for a while, I've
done the sensible thing and done a serious trawl through the Microsoft
Updates and Downloads Centre.

I really should have done this earlier. I've been playing with the
converters, and there are definite improvements in all of the Microsoft
products. I do automatically take all the security updates, but I should
visit more frequently for product updates.

Thanks David

Printing correct color

Posted: 09 Apr 2006 07:36 AM PDT

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

Retrieving lost Word documents.

Posted: 04 Apr 2006 06:18 PM PDT

Hello,

The chances are rather slim, as your accident dates back to 2004,
however, there is still a possibility powerful data recovery tool might
bring something back. The one I'm using myself is Undelete, it never
failed me or corrupted restored data. it is very powerful. You might
wish trying it out in your case.

That comes with Epson Scan Software. There might be a manual on the CDRom.

Try asking on alt.comp.periphs.scanner

That's the group for scanner questions.
