MS Works 8

Posted: 19 Oct 2006 05:52 PM PDT

Hi Dannie,

Works has the ability to save it's documents in various formats.

In short, you will be able to save in Word format that can then be attached
to a email.

Spell check in OE?

Posted: 12 Oct 2006 11:13 AM PDT

Thanks for providing a link to those "fixes". Actually I have tried some
similar, if not the same, fixes but in the end it was just easier to
download another spell checker and move on. Guess I'm just lazy, but in the
end there just didn't seem to be any real advantages in persisting with
attempts to make the spell checker in Works function in OE when another
spell checker would work just as well. Course, I could be wrong.

Calendar error.

Posted: 11 Oct 2006 04:26 PM PDT

I decided to start from scratch. I uninstalled Works and then went
through and removed any files left behind and then reinstalled from
original install disc and then ran the update. Happy to say that
everything works just fine now. Lee

WksSb.exe - Entry Point Not Found

Posted: 11 Oct 2006 07:21 AM PDT

1) 6.0.3221.2

2) 6.0.3221.2

But be advised, I followed the suggestions from Ken above, so files were overwritten with the reinstall of WORKS. I can tell you that the date on both files is 8/23/2001. The date on the file that WAS in 1) was 3/something/2006 after installing Office 2007 beta and before reinstalling Works.

Can you give me the following information -

folder

and the version number of WKWBL.dll in the C:\Program Files\Common
Files\microsoft shared\Works shared folder.

To find Version number please right click on the EXE and click on the
version Tab.

Microsoft Works 6.0 Calendar is shared between users

Posted: 10 Oct 2006 09:36 AM PDT

Thanks Kevin.

Kind of takes away the charm of setting a reminder for her surprise birthday
party, if you know what I mean. :)

Can anyone recommend a product that affords a little more privacy?

Works 8.5 adding hours / minutes

Posted: 09 Oct 2006 07:35 PM PDT

Hi cadgmcman,

Perhaps this helps :-)

When a time value is entered, internally the computer stores the
hours and minutes as the equivalent number of days,
e.g. 05:48 = 0.242, 3dp

The Format menu allows you to display this on a 24 hr time scale
if required. The maximum displayed value is equivalent to 23:59,
before the clock resets at midnight. This gives the impression that
the summing of Time values is incorrect and that hours are lost.

However, that is only for the display. The actual total continues
correctly where the calculation is retained by Works spreadsheet
in units of days. e.g 14:45 + 11:30 = 1.094 days

Interestingly, perhaps, if you were to sum a number of cells
where the total number of hours exceeds 24 and formatted this
to time, you would get the correct number of hours and minutes
in the following partial day akin to the result of =MOD(TIME,24)

For the above example times,

14:45, 11:30 = 02:15 AM, in effect, the next day to the start
time and 0.094 into that day.

However, you are not interested in CLOCK times but in
DURATION times, where the numbers should not reset, as
on a clock but are to continue, as along an unbroken event i.e.
total workout time.

We are therefore not interested in AM/PM and will use the
underlying day units to record total session times.

Perhaps this helps you create a solution to your query.

In cell A2, enter the session date, formatted as a data option.
In cell B2, enter the session duration as a time value hh:mm.
Repeat for all sessions to date.
Lets say we just completed row 6 by entering workout times
of; 07:30, 11:15, 11:30 and 09:30 and 07:45.
Leave a blank row ( to insert further sessions above ).
In cell B8, enter =SUM(B2:B7), formatted as number, set to 2dp.
This should read 1.98, which can be translated as follows,

In cell C8, =INT(B8) whole number of days
In cell D8, =INT(MOD(B8,1)*24) plus whole number of hours
In cell E8, =MOD(INT(B8*24*60),60) plus minutes
i.e. 1day 23hrs 30mins

In cell D9 =INT(B8*24) whole number of hours
In cell E9 =MOD(INT(B8*24*60),60) plus minutes (as above).
i.e. 47 hours and 30 minutes

If you place the text 'Date' in cell A1 and 'Duration' in cell B1,
then you can create a graph, if required.

Highlight cells A1:B6

Choose the toolbar button, New chart

Choose X-Y(Scatter) chart ( to monitor breaks in training).

Click OK, you should see a chart showing duration and date.

Right-Click on one of the markers.
Choose Shading and color.
Select a Color, say Red.
Select a Line Style, say a Solid Line
Choose a Marker Style, say Hollow Diamond.
Press Format.

If you are happy with the above choices, press Close
else change your choices to suit, then press Close.

When ready, you may press F3 to return to the data sheet.
Press F3 again to view the chart.

A working example, with 2 types of charts, is available from here:
