Can't print with Works 7

Posted: 26 Sep 2007 02:57 PM PDT

Well, I'm not sure this will work and it's definitely not a fix, only a
work-around. I'm told there are some free pdf writers. Could you download,
install one, and print your Works documents to pdf, and then print from the
newly saved pdf document. Of course if you already have a pdf writer such
as Adobe, you could use it. Just a thought.

Works 8.5 will only print 1 copy of a document

I have Works 4.5a with the same problem. I work around it by clicking the
following: File/Print/SetUp/Properties/Advanced. There I find advanced
options where I can set the number printed - click OK. When I back out
always change the number in the regular printer dialogue box, but I don't
know if that is necessary. Perhaps something like what I've described will
work for you. I don't know if it is a conflict between Windows XP and Works
or with my very ancient HP Deskjet 712C printer. Hope this helps.

Works v9 - System Requirements...

Thanks Brian for the very prompt reply. As I use Win2K & WinXP Pro SP1a, I
think Microsoft have definitely saved me the cost of an upgrade...this time!
Best Wishes
Tim

4.5a saves with DOC extension

Windows Installer Cleanup Utility looks very promising. Will give it a try
on Thursday.

Hi Sandy,

You might try using Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, then clean boot to
reinstall.

This may get rid of corrupt registry keys.

See this for more info..
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Microsoft-Works-1034/works-4-5-windows.htm

Before reinstalling, assure C:\program files\msworks has been removed, also
there may be a Works Shared folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Works Shared that should be removed.

Thanks for the response Kevin. How disappointing that such a basic
feature is still unavailable.

Printing from Works 7

Posted: 22 Sep 2007 04:48 PM PDT

Thanks Kenny, but I've set the printer to Landscape and it still comes out
portrait. I'm using HP drivers.
The Geek Squad suggested switching from works to office with Excel. Any
comments?

Thanks :-)

Which Version(s) of Works Are You Using

Posted: 22 Sep 2007 09:26 AM PDT

Hi all,

I started using Works 4.5a about 10 years ago.
Since I bought another computer (in 2003) I worked with the Works Suite 2003
which includes Works 7.0. I didn't use the wordprocessor but the included
version of Word XP. However since Word seems to be damaged I use the Works
wordprocessor. Of course I could reïnstall Word but up to now I don't need to.
Last weekend I bougt a new laptop. It came with Works 8.5.

Every version of Works was (and is) enough for my needs. I do lots of work
with it for church and also use a 2300 record-database of our members in
Works. I only use the wordprocesssor, the spreadsheet and the database. It's
enough for me, however I sometimes use Google Docs because I can use the
documents when I'm at the office without carrying them around on an usb-stick.

I tried OpenOffice.org but I think it's too slow. Works is much faster and
up to now it does the thing for me.

With kind regards,
Leen

Works 8.5 Paste Special problem

Posted: 13 Sep 2007 08:57 AM PDT

hi kevin,

i did leave out the word special in paste special, but that is the option
that i selected. i'm sorry for the confusion.
i left the spreadsheet open during the entire process.
it's weird that the spreadsheet is what is copied via paste link (and only a
portion of it at that) instead of the chart.

by registering the files . . . are you referring to the online registration
after the software is installed or something else?
i did that this time, but i will re-install version 8.5 and see what
happens.

maybe this will also clear up the problem of the missing tooltips also.

thank you.

: Hi Tracy,
:
: This is the method I use in Works 9, to link a previously saved Works
spreadsheet /
: chart to a Works word processing document.
:
: Important: You must first save the spreadsheet before you can link any of
its charts to a
: document.
:
: 1. Open the spreadsheet containing the chart that you want to insert as a
link.
: 2. On the View menu, click Chart.
: 3. In the Select a chart box, click the chart you want to insert as a
link.
: 4. Click OK.
: 5. On the Edit menu, click Copy. (Keep this spreadsheet document open).
: 6. Open a Works word processor document into which you will insert the
linked chart.
: 7. Click in the document where you want to insert the chart.
: 8. On the Edit menu, click Paste Special. (different to what you
posted - omitted
: 'Special'?)
: 9. Click Paste Link - The As: description box says 'Microsoft Works
Chart (link)'
: 10. Click OK.
: 11. The chart should now appear in your Works word processing document.
: 12. You may close the source spreadsheet and the word processing document
should
: update dynamically.
:
: If the above continues to fail then a reinstall may resolve the issue, by
reregistering
: the files necessary to implement OLE functionality within Works.

: | hi kevin,
: |
: | the instructions in the help system are the same as the ones that i
used.

not

maybe

: |

the
