How to switch columns to add text in a works document?

Posted: 25 Jun 2009 12:04 PM PDT


Hi Ken:
I understand what you are saying but it doesn't answer my question. To
explain why I needed the 2 columns- I had to proofread a document on my sheet
I had to write the wrong text and in the column on the other side I had to
put the correction along with my justification for the change. Hence, the
other column, so the reader to cross over to the other column and to make it
easier to read. My question is once I have written in the left hand column
how do I get the cursor over into the other column? Thanks marcianna74

correction, I did load a converter to open *.docx files, which I could not
open prior.

If you haven't tried it already, you might try rebooting the machine and
trying it again. That's the easiest way to ensure that no other Works
programs have any sort of lock on the file.

another Works problem

You might try saving it to a different location (desktop, thumb drive,
etc) and/or saving it to a different file name. You didn't mention if you
were saving it from the word processor, spreadsheet, or database, but I've
seen cases where having a special character in the file name could sometimes
cause problems.

Error Message Please Help

Often large scale documents will not copy and paste from one program to
another because of formatting issues. For example, to copy the contents of a
large Word file to WordPerfect or other word processing may produce the very
same message box that you received. Try copying to the notepad first and then
paste the ASCII textfrom there to your new program. This erases all
formatting, good, bad or indifferent and allows the new program to accept
the article as a new document. Microsoft Word 2007 has partially solved this
problem by including "Compatibility mode" that will allow the importation of
just about any file from any word processor, including Works, wordPerfect . I
hope this helps. A secondary situation may ocurr if your PC does not have
enough free RAM to support such a large copy/paste operation. Since ASCII
files are so small, however, I would highly encourage the temporary use of
notepad or Wordpad

If you use Works 9 database

Posted: 16 Jun 2009 01:34 AM PDT

And try to do also the following:

Immediately after opening database file
1. choose menu "View" -> "Report"
2. In the dialog box press "Preview" button

My Works 9 switches to "Change" instead of "Preview" but if I try it again
all bugs disappear and the program works perfectly .

Works 9 missing database function?

Posted: 13 Jun 2009 05:53 PM PDT

CHOOSE is still available, despite being AWOL in Works Database Help,
and is still in the form of:

CHOOSE(Choice, Option0, Option1,...)

Refer to Works Spreadsheet Help if you need more info.

The day Works dumps CHOOSE is the day I dump Works.

Well, apologies to Mr. Jeff Needle,
I do not recall in 10 years this problem resolution suggested,
although why one would want to delete them, escapes me.
Thanks Kevin.

Works 8 update

Posted: 11 Jun 2009 12:26 PM PDT

Hi again RBN,

I think you're correct about it being a coincidence that I started having
trouble with the Works Calendar right after the update. There were 10
updates from Microsoft at that time, including the one for Works.

I had problems with the Works Calendar back in April and finally managed to
get it going again at that time. I've pretty much decided that I don't want
to keep trying to figure it out this time because it might just happen
again--then it would be the same aggravation one more time.

I might mention that the Vueminder calendar, which I found on CNET, has been
updated already while I've been using it on trial. I'm further impressed!

Thanks for your help.

You're welcome, thanks for posting your result.

There are lots of shortcut keys....


The following is from my Word version 2000 help....


Print a list of shortcut keys

On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Macros.

In the Macros in box, click Word commands.

In the Macro name box, click ListCommands.

Click Run.

In the List Commands dialog box, click Current menu and keyboard settings.

On the File menu, click Print.

Rebecca,
Check with the College's bookstore, they may have MS Office at a discount
for students.

Hi Rebecca,

No. it is not the same though you may 'get by' you are likely to have
compatibility issues exchanging files will tutors and/or fellow
students.

I would advise you to acquire MS Office Home and Student.

works calendar won't export

Posted: 01 Jun 2009 05:40 AM PDT

The default save location for the exported file seems to be your Documents
folder - so you can look there to see if your file successfully exported.

Can you export in the other formats (iCal, HTML, or Tab Delimited) - or are
they all broken for you?

Greek font for Works on 64bit Vista

Posted: 22 May 2009 02:34 AM PDT

Hi marcv,

Accented characters such as á and ë can be inserted using

Insert > Special character > Symbol > Arial > 'character'

together with a font that offers the required 'character'.

or

< Alt + x > where x is a number, such as Alt +0225
