That is not a problem at all, since my sister-in-law BARELY
uses Excel, certainly nothing advanced, and is more concerned
about being able to open her existing Word files... and, even
with those, she is a one file at a time user, without any of
the advanced featurs like mail-merge

Just knowing that W9 will open her files is all we need

Thanks... John

Entry Point Not Found

Posted: 12 Nov 2008 09:41 PM PST

I followed the link & that's my problem however the solution requires me to
use the Works CleanUp Utility which it says is in the Works 8.0 installation
CD. Since Works came preinstalled on my computer I don't have a Works 8.0
installation CD. I did download & run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.
I tried to reinstall again but got the same error message. What now?

Migrating Works spreadsheet File

Posted: 12 Nov 2008 08:51 PM PST

Mike:
Thanks for responding. Are you saying that Works will find the folder even
though it may not have some particular name? Or do I have to be sure it has
a particular name? How would Works find it? Not sure I understand.

How did your daughter;

1. Save the file from (not to) Works
2. Exit/ quit Works
3. Shut down Windows

.... after she had done this work? Doing any of these things unsafely can
indeed result in corrupted files.

Networking problem with works 8.5

These seem like a reasonable things to allow, rather than problems.

Most networked IT would be crippled if only one person were allowed to
read a file at a time... consider, for example, the World Wide Web which
involves potentially millions of people reading the same file at the
same moment.

Or the operating system you're using now, in which many processes need
to read the same file simultaneously in order to run programs.

Okay, thanks. I couldn't find any examples of such formatting, so I
had gone ahead in the interim and fleshed out the 'empty space' by
including the fields for 'Date Paid' and 'Expires', so the person
checking memberships can tell who is close to needing a renewal and
police accordingly.

Thanks,

Where to find detailed syntax information for Works?

Kevin,

Thank you for the generous offer; at the moment I don't have a
specific formula question at hand - I was able to get something
hammered out by digging through the archives here and copying it and
tweaking it until it worked. I do have some report formatting
questions, but I'll start a new thread for that.

Thanks,

Monte

Spell-checker function tardy and/or selective and/or not functioningat all

Posted: 08 Nov 2008 08:00 PM PST

I suspect that you are exceeding the capacity of the program. And I
doubt there is any thing you could do in the program.

If you do a manual spell check (F7) does that catch the misspelled
words? If so, with long documents you'll have to do that.

works4.5a fix for saving to doc instead of wps

news:phx.gbl... 

I followed the directions and was able to restore the .rtf save option but
then the old problem with Works trying to save as a .doc reappeared. I
tried both restoring 2 & 3 and deleting all of 1 & 4 then tried leaving 1&4
as per the original "fix" while restoring 2&3. The results remained the
same. Currently I've gone back to the original "fix". Maybe I did
something wrong?

Publishing program has too many fonts

Posted: 05 Nov 2008 08:28 AM PST

I'd go for removing Print Master. If you remove a wrong font you can have
all sorts of trouble. HP support "helped me" when my PC was new and make a
long story short, ended doing a reload of operating system. I am using XP
media center edition 2005. Also watch the HP Officejet all in one printers
and how they interface with Works. Nothing but out of memory errors which
requires a work around.

I would never use Print Master on my PC again but I'm sure it's being used
by many people but don't know if those people have Woks installe.

Good luck.
