Microsoft Works - works 2002 calander

works 2002 calander

Thanks for the response, but I don't think so. I am using Suite 2002, and I
saw a similar problem address with a download, which was dated 2002., and it
didn't solve the problem. I had to go ahead and uninstall Explorer 7 for the
calander to print.

dbr msworks 8.0

Posted: 14 Mar 2007 08:42 AM PDT

Hi, Erick,

Speaking from the point of view of one who:
Uses Works 4.5a,
Creates databases from scratch,
Does not use database templates,
here is how I would attempt to eliminate unused database records.
I would left-click in the first cell of the first undesired record; then I
would scroll (please note that I would use the vertical scroll bar and the
horizontal scroll bar, not the mouse scroll button or the Page Down button.
It won't work if you do anything other than use the vertical scroll bar.)
down to the extreme right field and last line of the records to be deleted.
Having done that, I would hold down the CTRL key and click in the cell just
mentioned. All unused records should be highlighted (turned black). Then I
would go to the menu bar and select Record and click Delete Record. That
would be my solution. I hope it helps you.
Angie

I thought Works 4.5 could do "Page x of y" ?

Works 8.5--"Page x of y"

Posted: 11 Mar 2007 12:41 PM PDT

> I find it incredible that Microsoft would market a dedicated word processor, 

The Works programmers know about all these problems as Kevin told us,
but continue to cripple each and every version Works relative to the
former version. Perhaps they cannot do otherwise because of a policy
dictated to them....(?).

 

The format gallery is just a toy and made to work exclusively with the
MS templates. It shows that Works actually works with styles.
Nevertheless the users cannot use this important feature themselves if
they wish to. An important tool crippled.

It has nothing to do with "page x of y".
 

So much is certain: you are NOT incredibly stupid!


Erik.

Works 8.5----"Page x of y"

Posted: 10 Mar 2007 01:18 PM PST

Dear Erik,

Members of the Works product team have been reading users posts for
many years and have provided solutions, on numerous occasions! They
are aware of the user's concerns, many of which escalated with versions
after Works 4.x

Present mail merge operation does not support the requirements of many
users, and the Works team are certainly fully aware of the users'
concerns.

I thank you for your kind words - I do what I can, when I can, to offer
help to the users of Works, wherever they may be. ;-)

Regards,

| Dear Kevin,
|
| this is good news. How long are they following this NG already? I hope
| they will listen to the problems and complaints, and do something about
| them. My complaint since Works 4 has been that they do not listen and
| perpetuate the problems version after version (mail merge especially). I
| loved version 4 and am still lurking here and giving help once in a
| while, but being disenchanted with Works 5, 6, 7 and 8 -- and hence with
| Microsoft in general -- I am now using Openoffice for my office work and
| mail merge, and Linux as OS in order to be secure.
|
| I am very grateful to you that you have been a loyal pillar of support
| and wisdom all these years.
|
| Keep up the good work.

Word processing functions?

Posted: 10 Mar 2007 06:49 AM PST

If he buys a new laptop from Dell, is he also buying a
printer at same time? He should get assurances that it
works together.

thank you for reply! the email message not opening, happens in word
processor, spread sheet, data base & calendar. the send... button is
darkened & activates when pressed, except for spread sheet. it's grayed out.

i did set windows mail as default. outlook not listed, & is no longer on
machine.

thank you for kb link. at this point, i don't use works that often, & i'm
more comfortable with the kb article's solution in method 3, the work
around.

i do not want to loose the functioning sends i now have in IE7 & word 2002.
i'm not all that experienced in adjusting the registry, so the workaround is
fine for now.

thank you! len kiesling

templates not loading

Posted: 22 Feb 2007 09:10 AM PST

It seems only the templates not spreadsheet-related load. If they are SS-related, I get "MS works has stopped responding." I have played with it over two hours and all the spreadsheet ones cause the conflict. The calender and word-processor related ones are fine. Take this for what it is worth. I noticed this the same day I downloaded the new driver for the C6150 HP all-in-one. Large file, but I do not feel it is causing the conflict.
