Reloading file to new pc. Posted: 03 Sep 2004 06:40 AM PDT Why did you Zip your resume theirs no need to. Just save it to floppy or CD-R/RW. XP has its own Zip utility built int you should be able to just click on the file and XP should open it. Or you will need WinZip at www.winzip.com. You don't really need to zip Works or Word files. |

Works won't print Posted: 01 Sep 2004 05:39 PM PDT Thank you for your suggestion, but the only drivers available are on the XP disk. Older printers are considered dead, so no updates available for XP! We just wondered why the printer works with WordPerfect 12 but not the Works 7.0 or Works 2000. Tech support @ Windows doesn't have a clue either. Suggested new printer. Thanks, Margie |
Works 6.0 Problems after Installing SP2 Posted: 01 Sep 2004 07:44 AM PDT Barry, I have read where SP2 can cause problems with a number of programs, but haven't heard of anyone else having problems with Works. Never the less it is not uncommon for MS to issue a patch that fixes one problem, only to create another. Some advise waiting for MS to work out the bugs before applying any new patch because of this. Here is a link that might give you insight as to why you are having problems even though Works is not listed. Hope this helps.

Works 7.0: Restrict app to use one spreadsheet at a time Posted: 31 Aug 2004 05:15 AM PDT Rob, If I understand your question correctly, this is one of the 'improvements' of the versions since 4.5. In 4.5 you could open multiple files under one instance of Works, while the new versions require separate instances of Works. Don't throw away your copy of 4.5 as you may find that generally 4.5 was the best version of Works...especially with merging from the database.

Works 7.0: Save As... keep exisiting file name Posted: 31 Aug 2004 05:13 AM PDT Hi Rob, Perhaps keep a .txt file on your Desktop, open at the start of a session and retain on the Taskbar. The contents of this file is the name of the file you wish to save, or part thereof. Copy and paste into the dialog box, amending as and when required. Also, keystroke recorders/macro recorders can do the same thing for you at a single key press. HTH, -- Kevin James.

Works Calendar 8 stalls on start Posted: 30 Aug 2004 06:38 PM PDT Hi Mike, Perhaps replace the MsWksCal.wcd file with a fresh copy from the Works CD, unchecking the Read-Only option, found on the file>right/click>properties dialog box. Before proceeding, save a copy of current file as MsWksCal.Old. If it is possible, can you post that file to me, assuming it is not full of private and confidential/personal appointments etc. I can then investigate the cause of the problem for you. Now, having saved a renamed copy of the previous file, you may proceed as follows: 1. Insert the Works installation disc, and then press SHIFT to prevent Setup from starting. Note If Setup starts, exit Setup. 2. On the desktop, double-click My Computer. 3. Locate the Mswkscal.wcd file on the Works CD. The default location of the Mswkscal.wcd file on the Works CD: drive :\MSWorks\Common\CommApp\mswkscal.wcd where drive is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive. 4. Select the Mswkscal.wcd file, and then press CTRL+C to copy the file to the Clipboard. 5. Locate the file MsWksCal.wcd on your hard disk. the default location of the MsWksCal.wcd file on the hard disk is in the following locations: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Works NOTE: The Application Data folder is hidden by default. Go to Tools->Folder Options->View->Show Hidden files and folders 6. When you have located the Mswkscal.wcd file on your hard disk, select the file, and then press CTRL+V to replace the file with the version that you copied from the Works CD-ROM. Note When you are prompted with the question, "Are sure that you want to over-write the file", click Yes. 7. Make sure that the new version of Mswkscal.wcd is not read-only: Use Windows Explorer to locate the file, right-click it, click Properties, and then clear the Read-only check box. Restart Calendar.
