Microsoft Works - right to left script

Microsoft Works - right to left script

right to left script

Posted: 15 Jul 2007 12:48 PM PDT


..............Just a FYI

Hello Rod.

In MS Office 2007, probably in earlier versions too, eastern language
functionality is available for installation (it is not auto-installed on
initial installation) which will allow for right to left script such as
Arabic in textfiles, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, etc. I have
tried a trial version on my Windows XP laptop and it works fine -- a dozen
or so Arabic keyboards - Egyptian, Syrian, Moroccan, Yemeni, etc - are
available for installation at start>regional settings>keyboard>add and
switchable with a simple Alt-Shift. I have not tried any of this on my
Vista desktop but I see no reason it should not work; I have the same Greek
script and keyboard on both XP and Vista computers and both work perfectly.
More detailed info at Microsoft's Products page - search for "language"
within the Microsoft site. Hope this helps.

Microsoft Works Suite & Spreadsheets

Yes I did that. Thank you for that part. But what I don't understand is
why can't I see any spreadsheets open. Where are they? It is like they are
in the background somewhere? Is there a reason why they won't open or that
they cannot be seen? How do you get them open so that you see them.

Word Art & Draw are present on mine, though you have to access it through
"insert, object", and select it from the list there. (Works 8.0 retail,
upgraded to 8.5).

Works 9 details

Posted: 09 Jul 2007 02:10 PM PDT

As I use a PocketPC 2002 device that I regularly synchronise with my laptop,
I think I may have to stay with Works 8.5...
Cheers Kevin & thanks

Interesting-Encarta won't be updated at all this year but Student is
(not part of Works Suite).
Also could Office Home & Student be selling well-compared to Works
Suite? Which could be why it may no longer be listed on the US site .

Best to wait for Works 9.0-which will be probably certified for Vista.

Closing document closes program

Posted: 30 Jun 2007 01:10 PM PDT

that's strange....in the help it says that ctrl w closes the document, but it
closes the whole program........as does exit, and clicking the x..........so
3 ways to close the program, but none for just the document as it says
below.......lol

Tips

You can also close the current document by clicking Close in the
upper-right corner of the window.
If you want to close all open documents and the program, click Exit on the
File menu.

8.5 vs 3.0

Posted: 23 Jun 2007 04:51 AM PDT

The problem is that Microsoft frequently changes file formats. And the
new programs can generally read back a few versions.

I believe version 6 is the newest version that can still read version 3
files.

If you still have your Works 3 PC running, you can try saving to a more
widely support format, such as RTF.
