Can you insert a text box?
If yes, then save as a template.

Does this document happen to contain any international characters in its
file name? If so, you may not be able to open it from the Recent Items menu
or even the Most Recently Used list. However, you might be able to open it
by first opening the Works program in question and selecting it via the
File.Open dialog.

| Key board shortcuts can be identified by the underline character, they are

| Example: for superscripting...
|
| Alt+o activates Format menu, then f brings up Font dialog window, Alt+p
puts
| or removes check mark for Superscript, Enter key activates selection.
|
| In other words,,, Alt+o then f, then Alt+p, Enter.

Microsoft works gone

"reset"? Do you mean you pressed the reset button (essentially the same
as turning it off and on again) or that you reinstalled Windows etc.
from scratch?

If the latter, it's no surprise that some of your programs are missing-
they wouldn't have been (re)installed yet.

Where did you get Works from originally?

new printer & out of memory error

Posted: 02 Mar 2009 01:43 PM PST

I suspect any of the drivers listed will function with your Works programs.

The problem will be finding which one will function with the HP Photosmart
D7560 printer.

I would try HP 550 first.... or perhaps Generic..

COUNT

Posted: 27 Feb 2009 03:54 PM PST

OOPS,

Should have said,

Create a further additional field, say Field 30 (formatted Text).
The formula for this field is =STRING(Field 29,0)&" records"
In your report, replace the SUMMARY cell value =COUNT(LOCAL)&" Records"
with = Field 30

| Hi Dave,
|
| Unfortunately not. Whilst you are able to type that formula into a report cell
| it will report an error due to the mixing of types - numerical and text; hence
| the suggestion to use STRING in the previous post.
|
| However, within a works database report you are allowed to use common
| Aggregate Functions only; such as AVG, COUNT, MAX, MIN etc. The use
| of the STRING function is not permitted.
|
| What you once had in a previous report, using two cells of the report where
| one contained =COUNT(LAST) and the adjacent cell holding "Records" is a
| way of achieving this, together with a suitable cell alignment.
|
| An additional route using two additional fields is:
|
| Create an additional field in your database say Field 29 (formatted Number,0)
| The self-referencing formula for this field is =COUNT(LOCAL)+Field 29
| This replaces the COUNT function in the SUMMARY line of your report

** Create a further additional field, say Field 30 (formatted Text).
** In your report, replace the SUMMARY cell value =COUNT(LOCAL)&" Records"
** with =STRING(Field 29,0)&" records"

| This approach affords you flexibility as to what you can place in the SUMMARY
| row of your report, based on your filters and in place of " records".

This newsgroup is for discussing Microsoft Works, running on Windows.
It's not the best place to ask for reviews of mini notebooks (or about
Psion's netBook).

I suggest you browse the magazines in your local newsagent and buy
one(s) with a relevant group test or review(s), compose a short list
based on that and then research further, look for more reviews and
opinions of the notebooks you've short listed.

In summary, exactly what you should always do when considering a
purchase of any kind; form your own informed opinion, because others'
opinions may not be appropriate for you.

Shouldn't take long.
