What operating system are you using?

If Windows XP you might try using the cleanup utilities.

Upper case/Lower Case text

Posted: 14 May 2008 04:48 PM PDT

Kabanakim,

Another way might be to create a new field if there is room to do this. Also
take a look at the LOWER/UPPPER/PROPER formula.

If you just want to make say all last names in a field to upper case you
might want to use the formula =UPPER(LAST NAME), first create new field
called say "UPPERLASTNAME". Good luck. Dave

If you had the Works install CD/DVD you could try reinstalling Works.
I'm guessing that it came preinstalled on your PC. In that case you
need to contact the PC manufacturer for how to reinstall Works. In some
cases, the needed files are in a folder on the hard drive. In others it
might be on the PC manufacturer's DVD. And in others, the only option
they have to restore the PC to the factory settings which wipes out all
of your data.

Another option is the Works 8.5 update. Although it doesn't seem to
directly address your problem, the update may fix something that is
broken in Works. See the following:

You receive an error message when you are working in Works 8: "Microsoft
Works 8 has stopped working"

Hi "Who2"! When you open Works you will see a blue question mark in the top
right corner. Click that and then click the very bottom link from the drop
down menu you will get. It should say "About Microsoft Works." This will
tell you the version you are running. This is how you can find out about
virtually any program you wish to identify.

Open Notepad on each PC and try File, Open. Do you get the same
difference between the two PCs?

Works 6.0 file viewer

Posted: 07 May 2008 06:47 PM PDT

The Word Viewer is actually the Word program with the edit/save options
disabled. As such it probably needs the same converter that the full
Word would need.

I found a working link for the converter here:

Word 2000 no longer Loading into my XP

Posted: 06 May 2008 06:12 AM PDT

I new copy might not help you anyways,

What can happen is the registry entries for a program get corrupted, or
some program files. And an uninstall/reinstall won't necessarily clean
this up.

What needs to be done is an uninstall, then some registry cleanup and/or
file clean up, then the reinstall.

The cleanup step is the trick. I don't know what that involves for
Word, but someone in a Word newsgroup may know.

Converting decimal to minutes and seconds

Posted: 06 May 2008 05:55 AM PDT

Hi Steven,

If you enter your info using the spreadsheet time format, then your formula
would be a simple sum function.

Your example: 1.24 is 1 minute 24 secs

Should be written as 0:1:24, which will display as 0:01:24

In other words, zero hours, 1 minute, 24 seconds. "spreadsheet time format"
(hr,min,sec)

Lets say you input:

0:1:24
0:2:23
0:20:18

I will display as:

0:01:24
0:02:23
0:20:18

Then format your Total cell as Time using Hour, Minute, Second format.

Assuming the above display is in Cell A1 thru A3.

Your formula in Total cell is =SUM(A1:A3).

The result would be: 0:24:05

Just a thought,
Ken

Removing Words from Spell Check

Posted: 05 May 2008 06:53 AM PDT

The file that contains added words for Works (2000 thru V9) is CUSTOM.DIC.
On my Vista Home Premium system it's in
C:\USERS\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC, where the xxxxx is your
Windows user ID. You can edit CUSTOM.DIC with Notepad, deleting any word(s)
you wish. This file IS in a hidden folder, so you'll never see it unless
you make the Folder Options Ken points out.

Hit the Insert key to toggle 'Overtype' off and on.
This will stop the erasing of text to the right.
It is easy to hit while typing.

Conversion of Works 95 docs to Windows XP, Version 5.1

Posted: 01 May 2008 02:42 AM PDT

Thank you, Michael. That sounds like a reasonable suggestion and I have
indeed seen Works 6 on the 'Net at a fairly inexpensive price. Your assist
should be most helpful, as part of the issue was that I didn't know which
Works version would be compatible with the old data.

Your assumption is correct: I no longer have the old PC, although there are
days when I wish I did.

I haven't tried to copy the diskette files from Windows Explorer, since I
actually didn't get that far. I inserted the diskette and tried to open the
A: drive from "My Computer." That's when I received the message that the
disk had not been formatted and could not be opened. Since the two Word docs
on the diskette read just fine, I know formatting isn't the real issue.

Thank you again - I'll start shopping for Works 6, and will avoid Works 8
and 9.

Currency symbols in Works Database not appearing in Works mail mer

Posted: 29 Apr 2008 09:25 PM PDT

Lea had de volgende lumineuze gedachte op 02-05-08 08:25:

Dear Leanne,

Works' database is the best part of Works. You will see that saving
twice (as wdb-file and as csv-file) will become a routine. Before 2000 I
used Works 4.5a and it worked like a dream. Helas Microsoft broke the
program and left us with a program that we had loved but had become
nearly useless as far as mail merge is concerned. I tried field with
complicated formulas for amounts, dates and times, but then worked
around the issue the way I told you. The benefit is that calculations
and text formulas too will carry over into the merge. Things will become
as easy as they were before.

Works' database has another quality: the making of reports. You will be
happy with the possibilities this gives.

There is an alternative, of course: openoffice.org. I use it now; in
fact I have given up on Windows because it is too inscecure. Windows has
lost the war against all kinds of malware. I use Linux now with
openoffice.org and am very happy with it. There is a learning curve however.

So, for the time being stick to Works for you mail merge and discover
the qualities of Works' database in spite of Microsoft's crippling of
mail merge.

Good luck

Erik Jan
