| Posted: 15 Jun 2005 07:38 AM PDT Be warned! place the password number/name inside your printer case or similar place within reach, you will at sometime forget it. guaranteed. | A frequently quoted workaround is to save the file as a WinZip | file and password protect the zip file. | | Ken | | "Nekko" <microsoft.com> wrote in message | news:com... | | Is there any way to password protect a spreadsheet in Works 7? | -- | todrig | | |

| Works 7 - talk about rubbish!! Posted: 14 Jun 2005 05:16 AM PDT Hi Paul, You may still Save as your spreadsheet to the .wks format. Perhaps reinstall Works 4.x ( there's a 4.5a free upgrade available on the Works download page). http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx#EnglishY2K Provided Works 4.x is loaded after Works 7 you will be able to use it with little or no problem.

| Posted: 13 Jun 2005 09:21 PM PDT The MS OFFICE student/teacher trial is 30 days, you need to spend about $125-150 to get a working version. Unless you do a format, the trial won't reinstall after the 30 day period. The COA does list the WORKS PK, you said that. WORKS does not include WORD, but that 30 day trial, which has expired, does, it is asking you to either uninstall it or buy it. -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm "Dennis Marks" <com> wrote in message news:%phx.gbl... | My COA has two Microsoft Product Identifiers attached to it.

| Posted: 06 Jun 2005 11:41 AM PDT Aldus sprak Kevin James - MSMVP Works op 7-6-2005 18:36: Thank you, Kevin, I know this. What I meant, is: where can they be found in the task manager? This I thought was meant by the original question. In works 7 I had my templates in the task manager in list view. Very convenient. In works 8 I solved the problem by making a folder on my desktop with shortcuts to my templates, Works applications and most important files like my address database. The only shortcut not needed is the one to the taskmanager.... Erik. |

| Posted: 01 Jun 2005 04:50 AM PDT Hi snoopy, As sure as I can be without trying it for myself. The information has been passed on to me by a very reliable source, however, before I passed on 20-30 packages to any client of mine I would personally check it with one package.
