works 7 won't create active blue link in new document

Posted: 01 Feb 2007 11:25 AM PST

Hey Michael,
Thanks a lot. I went to
tools--->autocorrect--->options,
and saw under REPLACE AS YOU TYPE:
"internet paths with hyperlinks"

The box was already checked, so I unchecked and then checked it again, and
all is well. The links light up with the happy blue and open to the web
pages....kind of like a mini reboot for that wire...

Just so ya know- I tried 3 forums and ms support before you gave me that
idea- I had tried tools----> options to no avail. Saved me some grief-
thanks and be well.

Can't delete extra page in Word document

Posted: 31 Jan 2007 05:53 PM PST

You have excess spaces or other unprintable characters at the end of
the document.

Press Ctrl-End (hold down Ctrl key while pressing End key). This will
move the cursor to the end of the document. Then hold down the
backspace key until the cursor gets to the end of your text.

need help badly with install of Works 2006 from Works 6.0

Hello Kaja,

Can you please provide the following information - Is the error
message box titled "Microsoft Works" or " Microsoft Word"
This will help narrow down if the issue is caused by Works Suite or by
the Word Program itself.

Works 2001 install

Posted: 14 Jan 2007 01:32 PM PST


That's what I did. Selected Word the first time then two of them.
Came up with different errors each time. Each time it failed I
cleared the Temp folder and started fresh. Finally installed Word 97
and that install went smoothly. The cause may be that the Works
Suite came with my machine and the CD is marked for distribution
with a new PC. The new machine had ME installed which I removed and
then restored my SE system. That may account for it.

Thanks,

change .wps files to .rtf

If you are looking to do this as a batch process you need a conversion
program to perform this operation.

Word Pad Supports RTF format, so even if you dont convert the RTF file
to WPS you can still open all your RTF files in the Works Word
Processor.

Problem with custom font

Posted: 12 Jan 2007 10:20 AM PST

Hi there,

the font ist a standard truetype font (*.ttf) I once created for him.
It´s properly installed. I noticed today the font works correctly when
working on a spreadsheet or a database, it just does not work in a text
document. Anyways, my grandfather can live with that, he didn´t wanted
to use another Works version, so he just signs those few text documents
by hand... ;)

Can I delete WORKSSETUP folder?

Posted: 11 Jan 2007 01:09 PM PST

I wouldn't expect that Works uses it on a regular basis. But there may
well be a registry setting pointing to that folder so that if Works
needs to install or update something it knows where to look.

But you could always drag the folder to be a subfolder of another one,
and if Works ever complains, drag it back.

MS Works 8.5 word processor crashes on startup under XP Home Ed

Posted: 08 Jan 2007 06:59 PM PST

Hi,

Perhaps the primary user account is corrupt.

Create a new primary user account, *Test*, if okay you can delete old
account.then rename new account to old account name.

Just a thought,
Ken

History Lost !

What do you mean by loses? Do you mean that the HISTORY is blank on
launching the task launcher?

or do you see any error message?
