Converting Works 4.x to Works 8

Posted: 31 Dec 2006 02:29 PM PST

That's what I thought too, but I lose formatting like margins, spacing, and
fonts (original fonts are available). When I go back to work tomorrow, I
will see if there is a way around that.

I also do not know if my version is 4.5; I just know that it crashes on XP
and ran on 95-98se

Hi Mike,

One other point to clarify :-)

Word's word processor does install 'over' the Works word
processor within the Suite integration (service); however,
Works word processor is not overwritten by Word (on disc)
and, as you correctly direct, is still available though 'hidden'
from the menu structure available within Works Suite.

As others have also stated here, I am fortunate to have both
the Works and Word word processors visible on my Programs
list within Works Suite.

Works word processor & Street and Trips problem

Posted: 25 Dec 2006 05:48 AM PST

Thank you for replying.

No, I didn't insert the CD because I thought using the dictionary lookup
within Word had nothing to do with Streets and Trips and should not have
invoked the action. I should also say that my Norton detected
Bloodhound.olexe and did not allow it to execute but was unable to delete it.

I'll try inserting the requested CD to see what happens.

Possible Compatibility Issue with Previous Versions

Posted: 07 Dec 2006 08:50 AM PST

Honestly, I don't remember. I know the Y2k patch fixed a number of issues. I
have run Works on DOS and 4.5 on 95, 98se, ME and XP. I have a 200 gig hard
drive on this machine. Luckily no problems.

WPS files to RTF files - Problems

I suspect that the printer is the issue.

For a related issue, see:

He might try the suggestions there and see if that helps this problem.
