Re: Could I save the resume with a .doc extension, or must I use .rtf?

Yes..... you can save with .doc extension.

As you notice there is many selections you can use. I suggested .rtf as
most if not all word processors can open this type of file.

Guido offered the best solution. Using PDF is a guarantee the reader will
view your resume exactly the same as you created it.

Effectively, PDF takes a picture of the document. When somebody opens the
PDF document they will see the same thing you see.

You might want to download and install this: http://www.openoffice.org/
It is much more than a viewer, and it is able to convert and open files
produced by a variety of word processing programs. In addition, if you so
choose, you can edit the document. BTW, it's free. I still prefer to use
my old Works 4.5, old habits die hard. I also have a Word viewer installed.
By default it will try and open attachments such as you describe. I really
need to change that association to Open Office because I think it works
better, just too lazy I guess.

Autorun Wks Calendar?

Posted: 05 Jun 2007 05:32 AM PDT

To create a shortcut to works calendar....

On the desktop, choose Start, then select Programs, on it's expanded menu
select Microsoft Works, on it's expanding menu right click Microsoft Works
Calendar, in the popup dialog select Send To, on it's menu choose Desktop
(create shortcut).

Confirm calendar opens when double clicking the now new Works Calendar icon
on your desktop.

Now lets find the Startup folder....

On the desktop, choose Start, then select Programs, on it's expanded menu
right click Startup, on it's popup dialog choose Properties, you should now
be able to find the path for the location of the Startup folder.

Now lets put the calendar shortcut icon into the Startup folder.

Navigate to the Startup folder, size the screen so you can see both the
folder and the desktop, while holding down the Right mouse button drag the
Works Calendar icon into the startup folder.

Hope this helps,
Ken

Adding Excel to Works?

Posted: 02 Jun 2007 05:45 PM PDT

Hello Pat,

Perhaps you might be interested in a compatible office suite

http://www.openoffice.org/product/reviews.html

It is the lowest-cost way I know of.

running Microsoft Greetings 99 in Windows XP

Posted: 27 May 2007 09:09 PM PDT

Hi ElysiaDuke,

Probably the most important piece of the KB article applicable to your
circumstances and to which I directed you may be:

"If the compatibility settings do not resolve the issue, please
consider upgrading to the latest version of Microsoft Greetings,
or Microsoft Picture It! Publishing, or Microsoft Picture It! Photo."

HTH,

converting wks files

Posted: 26 May 2007 04:20 AM PDT

Re: yes, when I save into text and commas, it opens up like this, no bold print as in original tho.

As I said before, a text file with commas can be imported into googles spreadsheet if it is renamed to a .csv (comma separated value) file.

Your past response indicated you could not?

Or does it look like this..........

Amy,Tolliver,404-555-6543
Andre,Weller,604-555-5924
----------------------------------------------

Both of these have comma seperated values, and either will import into Googles spreadsheet.

I have attached the above example, it should open with your version of wks spreadsheet.

Hi,

Ron said that his problem occurs with Works 4.5.
The patch is not for him.
Trying to find a newer printer driver or a compatible one sounds promising.

Regards.

Works 8.5 - another question.

Posted: 19 May 2007 11:51 AM PDT

Tony Vella,
You might also may need to go to:
C:\Program Files folder and delete the MS Works folder, especially if you
plan to install and earlier version of MS Works Suite or MS Office Suite.

i think u can remove it from your start up folder, right click on start ,
click open or explore or go to the start up file and look for it, click
delete, it only removes it from start up, that it, i think
