Posted: 06 Aug 2006 11:00 AM PDT Hi John, One way of doing this is to display either a zero 0, a space " " or a null "" value in the formula cell, based upon not finding the contents of any of the four cells to be zero. e.g. to sum the four cells when none is empty, or zero otherwise show zero ( or other in place of 0, such as "" or " "). =IF(AND(A2,B2,C2,D2),SUM(A2:D2),0) Another way to achieve a similar result is to check each prior cell for a particular value. This case checks for zero values, as required: =IF(OR(A2=0,B2=0,C2=0,D2=0),0,SUM(A2:D2)) HTH, -- Kevin James.

You can view all the files that do not open in Works 8.5 in Quick view. Copy the contents from Quick view plus and paste them to a new Database file in Works 8.5 and Save. If you are downloading a trial make sure that you open all the files that do not open in Works 8.5 before the trial expires. MG wrote: |
Posted: 30 Jul 2006 04:38 PM PDT Hi JoAnn, Corrupt ink cartridge on a Lexmark printer can cause similar problem poster experienced. The following from Lexmark solved my problem. Ken -------------------- 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.

Restoring MS Money 2004 file into MS Money 2006 Posted: 30 Jul 2006 02:29 PM PDT I would suggest posting your question in the Money newsgroup instead of Works. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Money User" <Money microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
Posted: 27 Jul 2006 09:33 AM PDT Hi If you are using the same version of Works in the two machines you can use the same Calendar database file in both the machines. The problem here will be syncing the databases from time to time. You will have to be punctual about making sure that overwriting database files does not result in the loss of any appointments. As an aside it is always good to maintain back up copies of the calendar database files when you are trying something new like sharing. You dont want to lose all your calendar data as a result.

Paste formatted text to word processor is impossible Posted: 19 Jul 2006 01:29 PM PDT Yes. the problem seems to be becauseyou 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. JoAnn Paules [MVP] wrote: |

Posted: 18 Jul 2006 01:17 PM PDT More info...... After applying Windows XP Service Pack 2, you find that you can no longer open PowerPoint attachments (PPT or PPS files) from within Outlook Express. This seems to happen when you have PowerPoint 2003 Viewer installed (not PowerPoint 2003). Workaround 1: Save the attachment Have Outlook Express save the attached PPT or PPS file to a convenient location on your hard drive then doubleclick the file's icon to view the file. Workaround 2: A program to correct the problem Visit this page on Sonia Coleman's site and follow the link to Shyam Pillai's PowerPoint Viewer Registry Fix Workaround 3: Tutorial and another fix-it program Visit http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ppsopen.htm for a complete explanation of the problem and how to fix it. Workaround 4: Use PowerPoint Viewer 97 A user reports that if you install the PowerPoint 97 viewer instead of the 2003 viewer, this problem doesn't occur. Though the 97 viewer doesn't support all the features of newer PowerPoint versions, it should still allow you to view and print the presentation. Thanks to GB for this one. You can learn where to download Free PowerPoint Viewers here.
