Hi Mike,

Great info but I think that I might have missed a few details.

My O.S. is Vista Home Premium and what I would like to be able to do is to
insert the pontuation in Works in the same way when I use Word in XP. For
example, by means of pressing the CTRL + SHIFT + ~ + o and I would obtain an
o with ~, or by pressing CTRL + , + c and would obtain a c with a lower ,.

Hope you dont mind me adding your home page to my favourits b'cos it will be
very helpful for my studies in computer networking to obtain answers to
doubts and projects.

Many thanks

MS Works Word v. 9

Thank you, Ken, but it doesn't work. When I do that the spacing under
paragraph already shows it to be single, even though it is double.

Do You type the digit grouping symbol (space) yourself ?
You don't have to.
Works will apply automatically the format you selected in the menu Format >

Microsoft Works calendar 8.5

Do you mean moving the calendar?

The Works Calendar is a shared system wide file and cannot be moved.

You can backup the calendar

Vista 64 OS and Microsoft Works 9

Thanks for the feedback. The documentation suggested that it should
work, but it's nice to know that someone has actually done it.

Try typing in NotePad.
If you have the same problem, I would suspect a keyboard driver problem.

conversion from works 4.x

Posted: 15 Oct 2008 07:13 AM PDT

Hi, "patti_p_99"

I have Works version 6.0 and it will open Works version 4 files.

The only solution I know is to find a program that will open your old Works
files, then use it to convert those files to a format that your new programs
will open.

Ken

Storage requirements

Posted: 14 Oct 2008 06:45 PM PDT

Hi Jim,

Works is unlike Access, you do not specify character length in Works.

However, Works uses only the space required to store actual characters.

HTH,

How do I make the table wrap onto the next page?

Perhaps you could make two tables, one on each page, and divide your
table's content between them?

Which version of Works are you using?

Help please.......lWorks 9 word processor crashes when pasting

Posted: 11 Oct 2008 01:07 PM PDT

The problem with copy and paste from a web site is not too unusual. The
common solution is to open an instance of notepad.
Copy paste from the web page to notepad. Then copy paste from notepad to the
program that will use the information.

Not elegant, but it usually works.
