You may want to also look into purchasing more RAM for your computer.
While 512MB is sufficient for Windows XP, 1GB of RAM will make
everything run smoother.

Reclaiming Header and Footer Space

Posted: 26 Mar 2007 05:17 AM PDT

Mark M Morse had de volgende lumineuze gedachte op 30-03-07 11:50: 

Dear Mark,

I am sorry to hear this. I remember once removing the header and footer
in the way described, but that was with Works 6. I just checked this
method with Works 6: I can make an "envelope" of size A4 (European) and
change the page layout to what I want (my margins). It is very well
possible that this work around has been removed in Works 8. A lot of
things have been removed in the succeeding versions. I don't use Works
anymore, except when functioning as a "helpdesk" for friends. I have a
dual boot computer now and use Linux with Openoffice.org. Apart from the
irritations with the newer versions of Works I choose this OS for the
security on the internet it gives me.

If you find a solution, please post it here. I am still visiting this NG
in order to be able to help my friends if necessary.

Good luck,

Erik.

Working With Comma-Separated-Values Data

Posted: 24 Mar 2007 12:30 PM PDT

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the clarification.

However, I have experienced situations when pasting information into Works
Word Processor, the processor does not remove some types of hidden encoding.
The reason I mentioned using Notepad like a washing machine, it will
(washout) remove everything.

I have never been able to view this hidden encoding, just know that by
washing the information thru Notepad resolves the situation.

I like using the Works set of programs like it's processor, spreadsheet and
database for simple projects, mostly for their simplicity to use. Actually
I probably use them ninety percent of the time.

However for more complicated word processor projects I use Microsoft Word.

I am also learning OpenOffice, a suite similar to Microsoft Office.

You might want to check out http://www.openoffice.org/ it's free.

Works 8.5 update for Spreadsheet and Works Database Printing

Posted: 21 Mar 2007 02:43 PM PDT

The "more detail from the knowledge base" link says that this fix applies to
"Hewlett Packard (HP) Photosmart 2570 series printer or to an HP 7200 series
printers "

Is it acknowledged as a GENERAL fix for other HP printers also ? (Mine is a
PSC 2210)
