Heiner Intzen had de volgende lumineuze gedachte op 17-11-07 17:53: 

I believe the question is this:

Is it possible in Works Spreadsheet to change the date format from
"17.11.2007" to "Sat. 17.11.2007" (I interpret the German "So." to mean
the day of the week. November seventeenth however -- today -- is
Saturday, not Sunday, "Sontag".)

Ken, Thanks for the suggestion, however nothing happens when I try this. Does
this mean I have a bogus disk?

Page views in Works Word Processor

In View you can uncheck Headers and Footers to get what would be similar
to the Word normal layout.

Works 8.5 hyperlinks

Posted: 14 Nov 2007 01:10 AM PST

Eric--

Unfortunately, Works doesn't support bookmarks (which is what Word uses to
do this). One option is to store each chapter of your book as a separate
file, then have a "Table of Contents" file that includes hyperlinks to the
various chapter files. It's kind of awkward but it does work.

Works 9-Outlook error message & Internet provider window pops up

Posted: 12 Nov 2007 06:49 AM PST

Thanks for the suggestions. I went to Microsoft support to download the
outlook 2000 SR-1 file, but the file or related files are too large for
dial-up. I'll try downloading at work. As for the Internet provider window
pop up problem - Yes, I did connect to the Internet, but Works did not
attempt to connect. No resolution to either problem yet!

I'm sure I will. I have to do lots of Works "things" between now and
next August. <g>

Btw, I use Print Shop Ensemble III to make business cards and they look
GREAT. That program is great, I should use it more often.

Problem with database report filter

Then I would blame something else, printer driver
memory, or the OS.

Construct a new database to taste, and save it as a template
call it say "Dennis template 1"

then when it glitches next time, try and remember what
you were doing at the time to try and isolate the
lead up to the problem.

To get a fresh dtabase just open up the template,
and "save as" and rename it to taste.

Works word processor opens new window each time??

Blushingly, allow me to correct my mistake. I'm talking about Word 97, but
having checked out Word 2003, it does so bring up that second and third
window.

I understand from W2000 onwards, Microsoft has gone to the SDI instead of
the MDI.

Why? Beats me ... again, why they don't put in the option for either or is
beyond me!

Works 8.5 DB

Posted: 10 Nov 2007 09:31 AM PST

The following is instruction for Mailing Labels using my Works 6.0
version.

Suspect they will apply to your version as well.

Ken

Mailing Labels

1. Get a blank word processing screen in the Works 6.0 format.

2. Get the Tools menu and click on Labels (not on mail merge) then on
the bottom button for mailing labels and on OK.

3. Select the label size you want and click on New Document.

4. Click on the box for Merge information from another type of file
and select your database as the source (not the address book).

5. Now you will see a page of labels the upper left one will be white
and the others shaded. Use the Insert Fields dialogue box to insert
the fields you want on your label in the white label.

6. Click on View Results and you will see the first label in the
white space. Scroll with the scroll bar at the bottom of the View
Results dialogue box to see all the labels in succession.

7. Click on Print Preview to see all of the labels on the pages. If
you need to edit any label you will need to go back too View Results
and scroll to the label to edit. This way you can change the font or
color on any label.

8. If you want to change the font for all of the labels or have the
print colored go to the Edit menu, click on Select All and select the
font and color you want for all of the labels.

9. Print the labels on plain paper first to be certain they fit on
the label paper. You may have to adjust margins to make them fit.
