Can't shut down IE

Thank you Mike for the response. This is a different case, because the
computer
is not here before me. It is a computer a fellow has about a mile from here,
but when
get to his place, I'll take your instructions with me. Thanks again for the
feedback sir!

Degree and copyright symbols

G'day Steve,
info is found under help / Character map

Character map can be sourced in XP from
start / all programs / accesories / system tools / character map

If you get a sheet of symbols you can use the num lock
and use for example 0169 for the copyright symbol

Adding Holidays to Works 8 Calendar

Posted: 21 Dec 2007 07:02 PM PST

The Works Calendar used to include the holidays, but more recent releases
have that feature removed.

However, because the calendar supports importing iCal files; you can do an
internet search for iCal holiday files and import that into your calendar.

Squished images

Posted: 21 Dec 2007 10:43 AM PST

Hi Robin,

I have Works Suite 2001 which includes Works Word Processor version 6.0 and
Microsoft Word version 2000.

Like you, using Works Word processor, If I just right click on the image
without highlighting it or anything and copy/paste, it comes out fine.
However, if I highlight any text along with the image, it come out squished.

It looks like your version of Works Word processor functions the same as
mine.

However, if I highlight text along with the image and paste it into
Microsoft Word it comes out okay.

I do not know why.

Ken

Adding photos to database

Posted: 19 Dec 2007 07:54 AM PST

Your consideration may include dispensing with this solution altogether,
it is hazard prone.
Make your Folder your database, eg "Home Inventory"
If you name your files with a date precursor eg "20071220 edwardian desk"
etc
they will all fall into date sequence when viewed by windows explorer,
or any image program you use.
If you save your MSWorks Home Inventory with an exclamation ! eg !Home
Inventory
the database will remain at the top of the tree, and your images below it.
You are not restrained to poor thumb images, nor by file extensions, you can
have
*.jpg sitting alongside HTML, alongside *.gif, alongside excel or anything.
Updating an image will be a breeze, and freedom will be comforting.

Well you should be fine, I cannot comment on MSWorks 7, I have 4.5a

Good luck.

Works8.5 download keeps trying to install

Posted: 14 Dec 2007 02:40 AM PST

Hi Sandy,

The security update for Works 8 or Works Suite 2005
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/international/Update_1001.mspx

has been out for some time, I do not recall others posting about problems
installing the update.

You could redownload the update or order a CD.

Either way, I would use the cleanup utilities (completely get existing Works
off the computer) , clean boot, then reinstall.

Example of how to do this can be found at...
http://support.gateway.com/s/SOFTWARE/MICROSOF/sHARED/7513181faq24.shtml

Then install the security update using clean boot procedure.

Good luck and let us know your results.

Thanks,
Ken

envelope printing in works 8

Posted: 13 Dec 2007 11:00 AM PST

I, too, am having trouble printing envelopes. I printed about a dozen, then
when I came back to print more at a later time, my envelopes shoot through
the printer with the message "Print Cancelled". I had to press OK to tell
the printer to accept the different size, but when I do that I'm now getting
the message. It worked before but not now.

I'm using a HP Officejet 6310.
