printing from works ver. 4.5

Posted: 11 Feb 2008 05:44 PM PST

G'day HT,
common glitch,
Stay with good old MSWorks 4.5
(upgrade to 4.5a) ensure you have the Y2K upgrade.

The problem is with your printer driver,
go to the printer's manuf site and download the most up to date

Opening received Word documents

Posted: 04 Feb 2008 12:23 PM PST

The Works Word Processor should be able to open, print and modify most
DOC files. Some advanced Word features may cause problems with some DOC
files. Simply open the word processor and in the File, Open dialog
select DOC files as the File Type, then navigate to the DOC file to
open.

If you just need to open and print the DOC files, the Word Viewer that
Rich mentioned will do that fine and be able to handle the DOC files
that Works can't. But you won't be able to modify the DOC files with
the Viewer program.

open and save defaults

Posted: 02 Feb 2008 09:47 AM PST

Re: I have given up and installed open office.

Welcome aboard....

A lot of us who monitor this newsgroup also use OpenOffice. I started with
version 1.1.4, am using the latest version now.

However, my Works programs still do things for me that neither OpenOffice or
Microsoft Office can do, also it's simplicity is what keeps me using it.

Of course for complex projects I use one of the more powerful programs.

Works 9.0 - document text is squished

Posted: 31 Jan 2008 08:58 PM PST

Your are welcome and thanks for posting back.

Works displays documents based on the default printer. This can cause
some bizarre problems. In some cases, if you have black and white
printer, Works won't display color in a document.

'Smart quotes' poser

Glad to hear it worked.

You can also copy them from the Character Map, that was where I found the
Alt+0145 code.

The link below may help to find the numeric keypad on your laptop if there
is one.

Where did the numeric keypad go?

Can't upgrade from Works 9 to Office Pro 2007

Posted: 28 Jan 2008 03:09 PM PST

After creating recovery disks from my computer, I was able to search them and
find the Works9.msi file. I then had to move that file to my local hard drive
and point the Microsoft update to that file. Once the MS update was installed
then Office Pro 2007 recognized MS Works and I was able to install the Office
Pro 2007 upgrade.
