Customize Toolbar

Posted: 09 Jul 2006 11:44 AM PDT

Hi Dana,

I have Works version 6.0 and there is "no" customizing of the Toolbar in
it's Word Processor.

You can install Works 4.5 on your new computer, both applications should
perform okay.

Cannot reply to your Money 2006 query.

Printing to pdf file rejected

transaction on the web and get a receipt on the screen to print, but am
not connected to a printer at the time. I can save it to a pdf file and
print when able.

Thanks for the reply. BTW - I've got no connection to the product.

Calendar Will not Open in Works Suite 2005

Posted: 06 Jul 2006 03:38 PM PDT

Re: Ken, I have now tried all of your suggestions and they have not solved
the problem. Are there anyother files that could be corrupted that would
not have been replaced when I reinstalled JUST Microsoft Works and not the
entire suite??

Hi,

I assume you replaced Mswkscal.wcd located C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Works.folder with "Mswkscal.wcd" acquired
from your installation disc.

There is one more file in the Works folder you might try replacing. In the
same Works folder where Mswkscal.wcd is there should be a file named
"wkcalcat.dat", rename this file wkcalcat.old, then start/open calendar, it
will/should create a new wkcalcat.dat, if not you can rename wkcalcat.old
back to wkcalcat.dat.

If above does not solve the problem you might try reinstalling after using
cleanup utilities.

As you noticed uninstalling works does not remove all associated files, thus
when reinstalling not all files get replaced anew.

To get a clean install you can use cleanup utilities.

Typical information can be acquired here.

Yes. 4.5 sometimes bombs out but just restart it. It has a much better

Error msg "WksDB.exe - Entry Point Not Found

Posted: 03 Jul 2006 08:58 AM PDT

Hi Ed,

See below my search of past post.

Basically they suggest, uninstall, then manually delete the Microsoft Works
folder, and then reinstall Works from your Works CD.

As suggested in previous post, cleanup should accomplish same.

Works 2000 Calendar won't print

While trying all those things I read something about Internet Explorer could
be the problem. I had just installed that new beta Internet Explorer. That
was the problem all along! Thanks

Hi,

Forgot to ask, what version of Works or Works Suite are you using?

If it is Works Suite then we are looking for Microsoft Word, else it would
be Works Word Processor.

Database currency formated print problem

Posted: 28 Jun 2006 10:18 AM PDT

More information:

The problem is associated with the Euro symbol. If the regional currency is
set back to IR£ then the printout is correct. It seems that somehow Works
and the printer driver ( and font selection?) are not properly accounting for
the Euro symbol.

Thus when proportioning the printout the dp "." (and the digit group symbol
"," when required) is/are shifted to the left, and so can be lost!

Naturally, even the Euro currency version works perfectly well when the font
is changed to non-proportional Courier new font. Euro currency figures in
Word, for example, in any font are correctly output on all the printers I've
tried. So I assume it some problem intrinsic to Works

Probably too fundamental a problem for me to sort out.

This will be the last of this saga. Sorry to have taken up your computer
resources and time with the verbosity!

One user can't open Works!

Thanks for the tip. I actually tried a system restore first which solved the
problem.....

Thanks,
