This is an IE7 bug which has been fixed in builds newer than beta 2.

To work around this problem, use the Edit/Paste Special command, & choose
'Unformatted Text'.

Yes. the problem seems to be because you have upgraded to IE 7. Looks
like IE7beta clipboard contents dont paste too well in the Word
processor.

To work around this i would try pasting in an intermediate program (Word pad
or Note pad) and then pasting it into the Word processor. Hope
this helps.

Changing fonts in Works 7.0

Posted: 13 Sep 2006 11:21 AM PDT

Hi Robert,

This article may help, to create from a clean template:

Works: How to change the default font in the Word Processor
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=250307

Sounds like you may have residual formatting, left over from the
default template set up, in your document.

Perhaps, when your template is first opened,

Select all.

Select and set the formatting and font required.

Resave as template.

Error pasting Word back into Works 7.0 database - <picture> instea

Posted: 10 Sep 2006 01:33 PM PDT

Thanks for your reply, glad to hear it worked.

Re: Why does it post a marker instead of the data?

Reply: Not sure, think it has something to do with the way Word formats it's
text, seems NotePad removes all formatting.

I can also copy from Word to Works Word processor, then copy/paste into
Database.

Assume you have Works Suite which uses Word and hides Works Word processor.

To gain access to Works Word processor, search for WksWP.exe, right click
it, select Send To, on the expanding menu choose Desktop (create shortcut).
Open Works Word processor from Desktop icon.

I like the simplicity of Works Word processor and it has the ability to
address envelopes from the Address Book, also find making Labels easier.

Generally Works will open files a version or two back, but they've tinkered
with it a lot over the years. Also, there are some downloadable viewers that
let you open and copy older files but it's a bit hit and miss.

Thank you all for your prompt replies. As always they were all right on the
money. Worst part is I used to know this stuff cold, but has been a long
time for me using works and forgot a lot of the obvious. Again thank you all

I reinstalled Microsoft Works and it will update now but there is a problem
with my calendar and doing a reinstall did not fix it even though I created a
new database. Any ideas? And thanks for the information about adding the
newest one first.

Spreadsheets don't print

Can you print from other programs e.g. Notepad? Is it just one
spreadsheet or all of them? Why not try a test spreadsheet to see if it
prints.

Works 4.5a DB Report Printing Problem...Out of Memory

Posted: 01 Sep 2006 10:42 PM PDT

Hi Michael:

I found the problem....it's an HP 33x0 printer driver issue with Works 4.5a.
I have an HP3310 all-in-one printer (great printer/scanner/fax, btw). I get
an "out of memory" error if this is the default printer. What I did was to
make my Adobe Acrobat software my default printer. I can now print my Works
4.5a document out to a PDF file and then send it to the HP 3310 printer from
there. Very strange but that's the problem.

Thanks for trying to help!
