Out of Memory in Works 4.0

Posted: 01 Sep 2008 09:52 AM PDT

You receive an error message when you are working in Works 8.5 or earlier
versions of Works: "Microsoft Works 8 has stopped working" or "Out of
Memory"

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933828/

You could also download and install one of the free PDF writer programs.

I use Free CutePDF Writer. There are other free PDF writers, PrimoPDF as an
example, Google will turn up more.

I find it a great tool and have it selected as my default printer.

It is amazing how much paper I have saved using CutePDF Writer.

I do not know about you, but I used to print something only to discover the
printed document is not exactly as I thought it would print, readjust and
print again. Used up a lot of paper.

Now when I print something it is saved as a PDF document, which I open and
if it looks correct, I then print from there to the HP printer to put it on
paper.

Another feature of using CutePDF Writer is if document is sent over the
internet the document displays exactly as sent.

I suggest you install CutePDF Writer
http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

It installs as a Printer (This enables virtually any Windows applications
(must be able to print) to create professional quality PDF documents).

At http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp you will see two items
to download, Free Converter (GPLGS8.15; 5.01 MB) and Free Download (Ver.
2.7; 1.54 MB).

Install is smoother if you install converter first.

Make CutePDF Writer as your Default Printer, this should solve out of memory
error.

Microsoft Works 4.5 (.wks) spreadsheets -> OpenOffice

Thanks Erik for the info. I'm following more or less the same route you

Windows.

I have been playing some with OpenOffice, etc. on the W2K system.

Maybe the day I get a new computer I will have only Linux (or some Unix
variant) on it. In the meantime, the one I have had for many years keeps on
cruising along just fine.

Please do not laugh - Difference between MS Works 4.0 vs Ms Works 8or 9

Posted: 31 Aug 2008 06:24 PM PDT

You should upgrade to Works 4.5a.

As I understand the upgrade contains patches that address some version 4.0
problems.

I use Works version 6.0.

Some say version 4.5a is the best version, each version after that is a
downgrade of a great product.

Works 4.0 & 4.5 upgrade can be found here....

SOLVED. Spent the $45 to purchase a stand alone copy of MS Works 9.0 to get
the physical disk and file. Upgrade happened in seconds. Disappointed I had
to shell out another $45 because neither MS nor HP could offer a viable
solution.

Saving a resume template

Posted: 21 Aug 2008 08:43 AM PDT

Re: How do I save as a finished document just as it appears in print
preview?

What I do is save it as a .PDF document.

This requires a PDF writer.

Search the internet for a 'free pdf writer'.

I use CutePDF.

Windows Vista error 8024002D

Posted: 17 Aug 2008 06:28 PM PDT

The problem is now solved :

1) At this time, MS chat doesn't work
2) Phone 1-866-727-2338 for on-line support with SECURITY ISSUES.
3) All security issues are free from the support cost ding that other
support incurs.
4) The tech will take control of your machine and download the missing file.
Only techs (according to him) have access to this file. After download, the
update will install.

I have another machine WITH works 9 installed, This machine had no problem
with the update as it doesn't apply to this release.
-- end of advice-- now for what I will send to MS as to how I feel about
this issue:

1) When the error comes up, there is no prompt as to WHERE to get support
considering this is a security update.
2) Not knowing that this is a security update, one has to read carefully and
realise from the descriptions that buried in the MS support options on the
main page one can get support for this type of update.
3) Not knowing this is a security update, one browses Technet for a helpful
comment from the MODERATED forum. There is no reply from a MVP.
4) The total time spent is silly since the typical user (as myself) is
unfamiliar with the MS website and bounces between newsgroups, community and
various other places. Just where to go is problematic, and although I saved
some of the links, I still don't know where I got some of the stuff.

It would be best if when an update failed that

a) It knew this was a security update and gave one direct options for
on-line support after the normal re-install stuff which would happen due to
network issues etc.
b) There was auto-notification to MS when the log notices that a specific
update has failed more than 3 times for instance.
c) The phone support worked great and I was entirely satisfied. I was less
than satisfied though that the file was not available on the website instead
of asking for install disks or the 'browse' options.
d) I was really dissatisfied with the fact this was a KNOWN problem and
there was no posting that I could see that this was a KNOWN problem and MS's
fix was to phone support.

Don, Works is version 8.5, was installed from HD image on first-run. No discs

Mike, thanks for the suggestion. If this was an factory-level error, they
may have a standard fix. Then again, pre-installing an uninstallable Works
might cut licensing to dirt-dirt-cheap.

Thanks for responding, both of you. Appreciate it.

data xfer of CSV files

Posted: 10 Aug 2008 03:49 AM PDT

Hi Tom,

The comma and tab are called Delimiters or Separators.

Works version 6 recognizes either.

Strange that Works 9 doesn't recognize the comma.

Wonder if anyone else with Works 9 and Vista has the same result?

Works Calendar Import ?

Posted: 09 Aug 2008 04:16 AM PDT

Jack, if you still have your Works 6 installation disk you may be able to
install it on your new computer, both version 8 and 6 can be on the same
computer as long as older version is installed last.

This way you could use your saved file with Works 6, then save it as .vcs.

Am curious, what happen when you tried to use the MSWKSCAL.WCD file that you
saved from Works 6 with Works 8?

the ties in alphabetical order.

When you open Hydro.wdb, choose Report under the View menu.

Note: formulas used to find ties were copied from Kevin James DupeFind.wdb
