Will Works Suite 2004 with MS Vista?

Posted: 07 Nov 2007 03:57 AM PST

Hello Michael and thank you for the info about Works. I've spoken to my wife
and she is not overly concerned about WAB. Are you able to confirm that
Works Suite 2004 will run in Vista? I ask because my wife needs to create
HTML documents (she used Word 10 for this on her previous laptop)
Many Thanks

alternatively, print your file to the pdf format. For this you can
install "cutepdf".

Thanks for letting me know your decision.

Am interested if it resolves the problem?

Will only print top part of page

Are you saying that you can print other things from the Works word
processor OK?

One thing you can try is highlighting the whole document (Ctrl-A) then
select Black for the text color and print.

Some color printers have problems with Works and get confused on the
color of the text and end up printing nothing.

You can also try going into the printer settings and selecting Gray
Scale rather than color for printing and see if that helps.

Word processor hangs

Posted: 27 Oct 2007 12:21 PM PDT

Hi Kevin,

Lets confirm you are using the Word processor for Works Suite.

Works Suite installs Microsoft Word and hides the Works Word Processor. My
suggestion about Normal.dot is for Microsoft Word.

Open your Word processor, what do you see when clicking Help, then on it's
menu choose About?

Window XP default setting is to hide some files, Normal.dot is in a hidden
file.

To show hidden files, open My Documents, choose Tools, on it's menu choose
Folder Options or go to Control Panel and choose the Folder Option folder.

In the Folder Options folder select the View tab, tick "Show hidden files
and folders".

While you are there I would also uncheck "Hide file extensions for known
file types".

How do I BOLD an entry? Only 1 row in a column

Posted: 25 Oct 2007 08:14 PM PDT

Sounds like the original poster has a cell with word wrap on and wants
to BOLD only a part of a cell contents, not the whole cell. That can't
be done in Works.

I don't have the computer with 4.5a turned on right now.
If what you are saying is correct, then you can't bold column headers.

In Works 8.5, you can bold a column, a row, or a cell.

You may want to check OnlineLabels labeling product. It is called
Maestro Label Composer and it is currently free to use during the Beta
test. It will allow you to setup different labels on a sheet.
