MS Works Books/Manuals

Posted: 31 May 2008 06:09 PM PDT

There's a lot of good info at Microsoft's Help & Support site for
Works, http://support.microsoft.com/ph/1188
I'm currently running Works 9, but I think 8's pretty similar. Take a
look at the "Getting Started" application that comes with Works. It has
a good bit of info for beginners.

Date Format Problem

Posted: 29 May 2008 05:00 PM PDT

Hey, thanks for the replies. The problem was the column width. Even though
the column width looked fine on the spreadsheet itself, it reverted to######
when I tried to print. Enlarging the width just a tad did the job. I do not
think I tampered with the column width in the beginning and the June and July
date columns were okay. Just a mystery, but I have learned something new.

Thanks Again,
Ron

Re: My next challenge is how to encrypt those files

You could use Password protect.

What I do to protect my documents is save them in a compressed folder.

Compressed folders can be moved to any drive or folder on your computer (you
can identify them by the zipper on the folder icon), and they are compatible
with other zip programs. You can share compressed folders with other users,
even if they use other zip compression programs.

In addition, you can secure your files and folders by encryption (use of a
password). You'll feel safer when posting files on shared network folders,
attaching them to e-mail messages, or moving files between work and home on
floppy disks. Only you and people who have the password can open the files.

The following from my WindowsMe help, refer to your operating system help.

To create a compressed folder

On the desktop, double-click My Computer, double-click the drive on which
you want to create a compressed folder, and then, if you want to place the
folder within another folder, double-click the folder.

On the File menu, point to New, and then click Compressed Folder.
The new folder appears with the temporary name, New Compressed Folder,
selected.

Type a name for the new folder, and then press ENTER.

Notes

You can also create a compressed folder by right-clicking the desktop,
pointing to New, and then clicking Compressed Folder.

You can identify compressed folders by the zipper on the folder icon.

If you share compressed folders with users on other computer systems, you
may want to limit the compressed folder name to eight characters with a .zip
file extension.

Re: I am going to try Roxio Drag to Disc to get an alternative storage
system to memory sticks

I use memory sticks all the time, but only for backup or moving info to
another computer, find them very reliable.

As David said, copy memory stick info to your hard drive, and work with them
there. After you are done, then you can copy back to the "memory sticks" for
backup. It is a bad and risky practice to try to work on any file while it
is on a removable media.

Microsoft Works 9 invoice template

Posted: 26 May 2008 01:53 PM PDT

Also try poking around up on http://www.microsoft.com/office

They have a TON of templates up there for Word (and you should be able to
open them in the Works WP).

MS Works 9

Posted: 22 May 2008 07:31 AM PDT

Unless MS slipped something new into this release, Works doesn't check
to see if you're being "honest". So assuming that's right, there're two
answers:
1) It would likely work on as many machines as you want to put it on,
2) Legally you're not supposed to do that.
Sooooooooooo I'd say let your conscience be your guide. I believe the
list price for Works 9 is $39.
If you look at the license agreement, here's what it says:
1. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
a. Licensed Device. The licensed device is the device on which you
use the software. You may install and use one copy of the software on
the licensed device.
b. Portable Device. You may install another copy on a portable
device for use by the single primary user of the licensed device.
c. Separation of Components. The components of the software are
licensed as a single unit. You may not separate the components and
install them on different devices.
d. Included Microsoft Programs. The software contains other
Microsoft programs. The license terms with those programs apply to your
use of them.

Works 8.5 Spreadsheet problems

Posted: 21 May 2008 12:16 PM PDT

Did you ever figure out a solution? I'm having the same problem. My printer
is HP and I already had the latest driver. The fix suggested by
DaveLovesTrains is for SP2 so would not be useful here.
