Re: running MS Works 9.0

My Works version 6.0 does NOT require Works to be running for reminders to
function.

| reminder function to work.
|
| She may want to check her Internet Home Page, and see if it has a
Calendar,
| and reminder feature. I know that Yahoo has it, if you set up the
reminders

is

Works V.9.0 -How do I change default doc location - vista

Posted: 30 May 2009 09:26 AM PDT

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310147 ("How to Change the Default

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947222 ("When you redirect the Documents
folder on a Windows Vista-based computer to a network share, the folder
name unexpectedly changes back to Documents") implies that something
similar can be done on Vista.

A little experimentation might prove helpful and reveal whether it can
be done or not.

Note that this is obviously not a Works-specific question, you may find
better answers in a different newsgroup, one about using (or
administrating) Vista.

I try not to mess with the registry, it is the one place where you can
really damage the operating system.

I do not have my Works programs on the "NEW" menu, why do you want yours
there?

I assume if the writers of the programs wanted them there they would of done
so.

There is another tool called "tweak Ul" it may have the ability to do what
you want. Google for Microsoft PowerToys to find it.

Works database files have extension .wdb

Search for .wdb to find database files.

Thanks once again for the further tip, that's going to be useful... I've only
recently subscribed toy this list & haven't spent much time looking at the
archived stuff....must rectify that! I use Access & Word regularly, & use Works
for quick basic standardised notes/letters etc... thus my use of templates

can't convert Works spreadsheet to Excel

Posted: 22 May 2009 03:05 PM PDT

You can do a File, Save As to a XLS file, but your original XLR file is
still there and any time you do a Save (rather than a File Save As) in
Works it will save as an XLR.

But as Keith indicated, Excel can directly read XLR files, so no
conversion is necessary.

i can't cut and paste

Posted: 18 May 2009 08:08 AM PDT

I had the same problem. I finally right clicked on the word icon (samething
would work on the program menu) and then clicked on "Preferneces" I then
clicked on "compatibility' and there was a message there saying if I was
having trouble with this program and it worked ok before, I should select
from the menu, the package under which it worked alright. Thank Heavens there
was only one item and it was Windows XP (service pack 2.) Even thought I am
sure that I never ran this under XP since it was a program that came with my
new Vista, when I click on that, it solved the problem. I am not a computer
whiz and don't know why but you might just try going to the "compatible" site
to see what is there.

number a report

Posted: 16 May 2009 03:29 PM PDT

Shwmae Rodney,

I honestly don't recall that particular post. ;)

In general, to auto-number a list in a report, create a field (rank) that is
self-referencing and which automatically increments by 1 i.e rank=rank+1.

However, there would need to be a means of sorting the records, based
on one of the field's contents - e.g earnings or position etc to get the correct
order before numbering.

Therafter, report filtering can be used to select the rank values required.

HTH,

I have been running MS Works 9.0 on Vista Home Premium 64 bit system for a

than my system, so that might have a bearing on whether it will work or not.

Yes, changed my printer to MS Image Writer and it is okay... But went back to
WOrks 4.5 too (prefer it to newer versions), and with the Image Writer
everything can be made to work. Thanks
