Works 8.5 spreadsheet pasting currency with comma problem

Posted: 16 Jun 2007 07:23 PM PDT

Hi Ivan,

Once you set the formula up, you may copy the column containing
the strung together value and PASTE over the top AS VALUES

Thereafter, delete the two unnecessary columns, though you would
require them for further imports into that spreadsheet, or use a fresh
sheet for import purposes only. Paste the VALUES from one sheet
to another.

You may also be able to edit the data before pasting. Remove the
commas and then paste.

HTH,

Does Microsoft Works Spreadsheet have the autocomplete function?

Posted: 16 Jun 2007 11:21 AM PDT

Hi Christa,

Unfortunately Works does not have an Autocomplete function,
similar to that of Excel.

However, perhaps a lookup table could be utilised ?

Problems accessing my personal template in Works 8.5 on Vista

Posted: 16 Jun 2007 05:17 AM PDT

Hi Marina,

In addition to everything Kevin said....

I have a template I use quite often so I put a shortcut to in on the
desktop.

This template fills out and signs my personal checks. To use it I tear out
a check from the checkbook, put it into the envelope slot of the printer,
double click the template icon on the desktop, fill in the necessary info,
click print.

To put your template on the desktop, navigate to the template, right click
it, in the popup dialog select Send To, on it's expanding menu choose
Desktop (create shortcut).

I still run Works 4.5. The fonts are all there, you just have to scroll
using the bar on the right of the fonts. The names and the way they each
look show up fine for me. Running XP Pro and Works 4.5.

I have always used ms6 and it works great for me. I usually don't have time
for a learning curve, especially when something already does the job. Thanks
for your response. Now if I can locate a CD

Problem with arabic text?

Posted: 11 Jun 2007 03:31 PM PDT

Not so much a bug as a lack of a feature. Works, to my knowledge, has
never implemented support for right-to-left languages, such as Arabic.
Wordpad and Notepad get it right because they basically leverage the
system-provided controls (which understand RTL text). Works, as I
understand it, has a totally separate code base, which is where it gets
features that Wordpad and Notepad don't provide.

e-mail from task launcher

Posted: 06 Jun 2007 04:34 AM PDT

Hi Pen, thanks for getting back to me. I have worked it out now, although I
have only got Windows Mail on this machine (Vista HP), it needed to be told
that Windows Mail was my default e-mail client. So I specified this and now
Works Task Launcher>Contacts>"click on envelope icon for a particular
contact>opens Windows Mail and a message already with addressee filled in.
If you are still having your "wierd" problem, this may help.
