Properties, and Compatibility. Uncheck the option to run in 640x480
mode.

MS works 7.0 onto windows XP

Posted: 26 Feb 2007 11:03 AM PST

Annie.
If your new PC, came with MSWorks8.x preinstalled as my new Dell did? This is
the procedure I went through to install MSWorks "Suite" 2002, on the new PC,
when I got the same error trying install MSWorks Suite 2002.

1. Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs> Select to remove all components of
MSWorks8.x.
2. The Removal process leaves a folder behind, containing new versions of *dll
files, that the older version of MSWorks can't recognize. The folder needs to be
manually deleted/remove by you, before you can install the older version of
MSWorks. They should be found at:

C:\Program Files\MSWorks on your PC.

3. Reboot PC (Something I do automatically).
4. Then try to install the older version of MSWorks.

Works 8.5 Spreadsheet and Windows Vista

Hi Sarah, Please try this. This may work for you. Please reply if it
does, as this wil help other users as well.

Since you have Vista, you will have the XPS document writer under
printers.

1. Set the default printer to Microsoft XPS Document Writer
2. Open the file you wish to print in Spreadsheet.
3. Select File > Print and
4. Specify the name you want the XPS file to have. The default
location where this file is saved is in the Documents folder for the
current user.

Note: When the default printer is set to Microsoft XPS Document
Writer, it creates a XML Paper Specification (XPS) document that can
be viewed or printed from any browser. The printing process creates
this file.

5. Locate the file just saved with the XPS extension and open the
file.
6. Internet Explorer will automatically launch and open the XPS file.
Click File > Print > Print. To print the file.

downloading clipart

Posted: 23 Feb 2007 06:12 AM PST

Microsoft Clip Gallery 3.0. The only browser I have installed is IE7, and
I'm running Windows XP Professional. I'm wondering if IE7 might be part of
the problem as I know a few months ago I downloaded some clips using IE6
without a problem. I'm reluctant to download another browser as I have a
very slow dialup connection (24.0 Kbps). It takes an incredibly long time
to download large files, and not something one does on a whim. Still, I
might try and give it a go, or I could uninstall IE7 and go back to IE6.
The phone company is laying line in this area and we are being promised high
speed Internet in the very near future. So, I might hold off for a few
weeks before attempting any long downloads.

Thanks for your help!

Works 8 Default to A4 & Word .doc

Posted: 20 Feb 2007 05:22 AM PST

Hi Mark,

You may create a custom template with page size set to A4.
Save it for later reuse.

Another option is to have all documents open for A4, using a default
template.

Details here:

Works: How to Create a Custom Template
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142326

Unfortunately, you cannot set the default file/save document type in
Works.

MS Works 4.5a & MS Vista

Posted: 16 Feb 2007 05:56 AM PST

Dave,
I've never copied over an installation folder. I always thought that every
program had to be installed.
Let me get this straight, Is all I have to do is find my MS Works 4.5a
folder and just copy it, then paste it into a Vista machine?
Another question, my computer should easily handle Vista, if I upgrade from
XP pro to Vista would MS Works 4.5a work ?
I use 4.5 for business applications and mail merging and would never
consider newer versions until they re-integrate Works and fix the mail
merge.
I am happy to see others able to use 4.5 in Vista.

Thanks to Erik and to Kevin. Read on. I didn't quite follow Erik's
instructions. Should you do those things one after the other while the
document waits for you? Should you be in Select All mode (as I was when
I tried it)? I did try it, and by the time I got to Ctrl-C and did that
last thing, i.e., hit Ctrl-C, all the document disappeared off the
screen. (I got it back by going to Edit/Undo typing.) Also when I
opened a blank page, I had a problem because Works had to close down.
(This happened twice.)

I also tried one or two other things and copied the ms into a new
document. Before Works had to close down, I had time to notice that
apparently the problem wasn't solved - but maybe there wasn't time for
spell-checking to complete?

HOWEVER, RETURNING TO MY ORIGINAL DOCUMENT, SPELL-CHECKING WAS NOW
WORKING!!! It picked up several errors. I'm very grateful. I'll keep
going in the original document (still weeks of work ahead) and keep my
fingers crossed.

Thanks - Ken (in Oz)

Have the same problem after many hours of on-line chats with HP and a couple
of systemrestores the problem remains. Was finally told by HP that there is
a compatibility problem between WORKS and VISTA and that Microsoft will be
producing a patch for it someday. Meanwhile I can do little with either
spreadsheets or database files. The word processor seems to be ok.

Have you tried doing the File, Save As in WordPad and see if Works can
open that?

Try the procedure here for the Normal.wpt file
You receive a "WKWPAC.DLL" error message when try to use the Word
Processor module in Works
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=873211

There may be some setting in the file that is causing some problems with
the OCR RTF files.

Spelling and Grammar - error mesage

Posted: 14 Feb 2007 07:21 PM PST

Hi Ken,

Perhaps carry out a Search for 'custom'.

It may be that you have another CUSTOM.dic file on your system

If so, and if it has entries that you require then delete the recently
created version in
...\Ken\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof

and replace with a copy of the older version that has contents.

In addition, to see if the spell-check will resume from the start

Open a fresh and new document together with the document
with your typing in.

Copy the contents of the older document into the new document.

Run spell check.

I believe that your original version of the CUSTOM.dic file was corrupted
with a loss of the words you had stored there.

In future, you may make regular backups of your CUSTOM.dic file

HTH,

Works 8 crashes and will not print - but will print to pdf creator

Posted: 14 Feb 2007 02:30 PM PST

It appears there is an issue with Works and the latest HP printer
update. If the same Printer worked before and does not work now it
must be an update that has caused the change.

Uninstalling the latest update might fix the issue for you

Works 8 Database on Vista crashing woes

Posted: 13 Feb 2007 07:43 AM PST

I called HP (the system manufacturer) and they walked me through a coplete
system restore. It seemed to alleviate the crashing issues until I tried to
print to the HP OfficeJet 6210 All-In-One, where I received the usual "Works
is shutting down" message. I can now format fields, print preview, open the
print dialog, and print to the MS XPS Document Writer (the default printer).
My current workaround is to print to MS XPS, open the new XPS document, and
print to HP 6210 from there.
