Just opening a document won't alter it. You have to Save it for that to
happen.

If you save a file from a different version, even without making any
manual changes, there may be some internal changes made due to
differences in file formats.

Newer versions of programs can generally open older versions of files
back a few versions.

It's more likely for an older version of a program to have problems
opening a newer version file. But this is generally only a problem when
some major file format changes have been made. In some cases there are
little or no file format changes.

Print to 1 page (shrink to fit)?

Posted: 14 Aug 2007 08:10 PM PDT

I'm not very fluent in english so I summarize sometimes too much. I don't
know also the real english menu and settings.
First, have you check your printer driver's options as Kenny suggested ?
It's probably the most easy way.

Otherwise,

There is two ways :
- create a multiple (paper sheet format) page pdf
- create an unique page pdf file using a standard paper size like A3, A2..
or a customized dimensions page.
Both must recover the worksheet's area you want to print.
(If this area doesn't start in the top left corner, then you can define a
print area in the File or Insert menu)
To change the page's size, you must go in the File > Layout menu in
Works. Don't forget to set the orientation : Portrait or Landscape

If you set customized dimensions, you may receive a warning message about a
conflict between the printer configuration and the page size during the
printing.
Just go on.

After the pdf file is created, the Adobe reader windows should pop-up and,
then, you can print your document.

If you used a customized dimensions page or a standard size greater than
your paper's sheet size, you must select adjust/shrink to margin in the
scaling field.
If you created a multiple pages pdf, you must select "multiples pages by
sheet" in the same field and set the number and order of the pages.
Check your Adobe reader version if you don't find this options (I use the
version 7 and the 8 should work also)

I hope this will help you to do the job.

Regards.

Works 8.5 Word Processor with Vista

Posted: 14 Aug 2007 11:12 AM PDT

There seems to be something peculiar about the files there.

I downloaded the English MS Word version.

I can open it OK in my MS Word XP, as well as WordPad on Windows XP.
But my Works 6 would take forever trying to convert it or come up with
some conversion error messages.

I think you are out of luck using Works on those files.

E-mail a Power Point slide show

Posted: 13 Aug 2007 10:58 AM PDT

The actual file extension doesn't matter. You still send it the same
way.

As for the PPTX, that means that it's a Power Point Microsoft Office
Open XML Format Presentation. To change the file extension you'd need
to do a File, Save As in PowerPoint to a different format. The reason
for doing that would be if the recipient doesn't have a program that can
handle the PPTX file type.

help with Works 6.0

Works 2000 is version 5. It will be similar, but there are some
differences. It's a matter of how good your dad is at winging things
when the book might not quite match some things in the program.

Just for your info you may find some printing issues in Vista with works
database. There is a download you can get from Microsoft to fix this.

Presetting Column Width

Posted: 06 Aug 2007 10:08 AM PDT

I'm very surprised that, what i would deem to be, a much needed really basic
feature is not available.

It's also a pain in reverse in that if a large entry is replaced by a
smaller one the column stays wide.

I couldn't get the double click on the border to work. That may just be me?.
Whilst thankful for and appreciating the short cut given, it still leaves a
relatively cumbersome and 'long' task.

Anyway, thanks for the assistance as it stops me wasting many an hour trying
to work out a solution that is not available.

That's the wonder of the Web, Guido.

Despite the stated limitations for provision of OEM products, the
option frequently arises that software is available separately:

Here's an example of the scale of things:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=OEM+software&meta=

For further interest, perhaps see these:

Pre-designed templates

Posted: 05 Aug 2007 12:32 PM PDT

Hello Liz,

I have Works version 6.0.

One way I rotate text is to use a Text Box.

Choose insert on the menu bar, on it's menu choose Text Box.

Type desired text in the box, while cursor is still in the box choose Format
on the menu bar, on it's menu choose Text Box.

In the Format Text Box dialog window select the Size tab, for Rotation use
up or down to set desired degree (180 will turn the box upside down).

Hope this helps,
Ken

Synchronisation

Posted: 04 Aug 2007 08:18 AM PDT

Kevin,

Thanks for your message.
The thread you point to refers to pre production Vista.
The download 'drvUpdate-x86.exe' appears to be for pre 6000 Vista.
I can sync between Win Mob 5 device and Outlook on this system so
Vista seems to be operating as advertised.

Works 8.5 has two built-in Sync options, one for Palm and one for CE
devices.
I am seeking a way to sync Works with a Win Mob 5 device.

Always printing set columns

Posted: 03 Aug 2007 02:10 PM PDT

Hi Turtle Lady,

You may use Freeze titles, to retain the columns you wish printed on every
page. Highlight only the other (contiguous) columns you require to
accompany these 'row headers'.

Additionally, or alternatively, you may hide columns be reducing their
column widths to zero. This may be useful for printing non-contiguous
columns.

HTH,

Hi Bill,

The data and time shortcuts were removed form Works earlier than
version 8.5. They were item No.66 in Works Hitlists for 2004/2005/2007.

CTRL + ' still copied the previous field entry to the current row in
Works 8 database but I cannot speak about Works 8.5, because I don't
use it.

Works 2000 vs 2008

Posted: 02 Aug 2007 09:48 AM PDT

Removing an application does not remove the data. But it's always a
good idea to back up any data that you consider of value, especially
before an install.

But since you are skipping several versions, there is the possibility
that the newer version might have problems reading/converting some older
file formats. Microsoft often changes file formats and the newer
version can usually read/convert a couple of versions back.

Do you still have the original install CD for the older version? If so,
you can usually reinstall the older version after installing the newer
one. Just make sure that you install to a different program folder.

Thanks for confirming that for me. :) I saw this claim plastered on so many
