| The Works word processor doesn't include a macro recorder. I thought about
| using a Windows macro prog e.g. Keyboard Express, but there isn't a
keyboard

dialog

Works Spreatsheet Charts

Include a chart in a word processing document

If you're creating a newsletter for a sports team, for example, you could
include a chart showing the team's statistics for all or part of the season.
For step-by-step instructions on inserting a chart in a word processor
document, see Works Help in the Word Processor.

Cannot open WDB files unless starting Works Database program

Posted: 06 Dec 2007 01:16 PM PST

Thanks Michael for your reference to a webpage text about the Windows Vista
options (1.) Set your default programs, and (2.) Associate a file type or
product with a program. I already knew these options and had found out that
they don't work for MS Works Database.
As the webpage text already mentions, the list of Standard programs shown in
Option 1 is incomplete, and nothing can be added to it. Not only Adobe
Acrobat Reader is missing, but also the MS Works Database program.
Option 2 includes the .wdb extension ("Unknown application" !!). Just like
the procedure you enter when trying to open a wdb-file by doubleclicking on
it), I can browse to the MS Works Data base program, but if this is selected,
nothing happens, this program is not accepted as a program to be used for
opening the file. It is possible however to link the .wdb extention to the
Works Spreadsheet program, but unfortanately that program cannot open .wdb
files!

Moving From Works 4.5A to 9..

Posted: 05 Dec 2007 06:27 AM PST

Yes, there is. Works 4.5a can open Works 4.x-documents, Works 9.0
cannot.

So, if you don't need your old Works-documents, Works 9.0 works.

Ask the microsoft knowledgebase:
"The Works 4.0 file converter (Works432.cnv) is not installed with
Works 9.
Works 4.0 word processor documents and templates cannot be opened
without this file converter."

If you want to open your old Works-documents with your new Works 9.0,
you can buy Works 8.0, then open each document with Works 8.0
and save it in a format that can be read by Works 9.0.
Now you can work with Works 9.0 like you did before with Works 4.5a.

Works 4.5 problem printing envelopes

Posted: 05 Dec 2007 03:06 AM PST

Hi JD
Yes - correct. All were printing fine before I change the address. I thought
I only changed the address lines and not the name - but I certainly will
check this. Thank you for your reply, it is appreciated.

Thanks all of you, i saved down as txt file and had to redo the formulas but
gave me something to do. Also a refresher on making formulas. Will try the
save down to a lower version of excel for future reference.

Talk to you all later - probably will run into more questions.

If you open one of these files then save it with a different name, can you
then open the saved file as you would normally open a file?

By the way you should upgrade to version 4.5a.

Go to Works website http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/default.mspx

==> Downloads ==> Product Updates, "Works 4.0 & 4.5 - Year 2000 Update
(English)", I believe this update includes several patches to correct
problems in earlier versions.

How to load Works Calendar at Start Up

Posted: 01 Dec 2007 02:13 PM PST

Hi Tobe,

To have the calendar open at startup you need to put a shortcut to
WksCal.exe in the StartUp folder.

Windows xp has several different startup folders so you have to locate the
correct one.

I am on a WindowsMe system so cannot give you Windows xp location.

Try this.... on the desktop choose Start, select Programs, on it's expanding
menu select StartUp, on it's expanding menu there will be several items,
right click one, choose Properties, on the General tab of the Properties
dialog window you should see the location of it's StartUp folder.

Did the path to the StartUp folder include you user name?

If not, check the Properties of others.

What your looking for is the StarUp folder for your user so the calendar
will only display for you.

There are several ways to put WksCal.exe in the StartUp folder.

One way: search for WksCal.exe, right click select Send To, on it's
expanding menu choose Desktop (create shortcut).

On desktop, right click the shortcut icon, choose Properties, on General tab
change 'Shortcut to wkscal.exe' to read Works Calendar, click OK.

Now right click Works Calendar icon, choose Copy, navigate to and open above
found StartUp folder, right click a blank area, choose Paste.

To confirm, on the desktop choose Start, select Programs, on it's expanding
menu select StartUp, on it's expanding menu Works Calendar should be there.

When you start the computer the calendar should open.

You will also notice you have a icon on the desktop to open the calendar,
which is what I use instead of having the calendar open automatically on
Start..

Hope this helps,
Ken
