JJ,

WOW, your suggestion worked..."Check the Format main menu for
"bullets" or "numbering" menu items. " "Highlight the numbered lines,
then click the toolbar button to toggle the
formatting.: Worked like a charm.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jeff,

Works operates on 'nested conditions' too.

If you provide further details then perhaps I can help.

Window 7 and Works

Posted: 04 Jun 2010 09:34 PM PDT

Microsoft officially supports Works 8.5 and newer on Windows Vista and
newer.

I'm running Works 9 on Win7 without any problems.

Others have successfully run older versions. I've heard of people
running Works 4 on Win7.

What specific problem are you having?

Insert a cell?

Posted: 01 May 2010 11:06 AM PDT

If you are looking for the feature similar to Excel where the cells
around an inserted cell are automatically moved, that doesn't exist in
Works.

As Ken mentioned, you can insert a whole row or column.

But I suspect that's not what you want. To get the results similar to
Excel, you need to manually move the cells. You can highlight a range
of cells then cut them (Ctrl-X) then paste (Ctrl-V) in the new location.

Works Suite 2003 Task Launcher Error

Posted: 22 Apr 2010 10:40 AM PDT

You might try using the cleanup utilities then reinstall.

If the problem is within the existing Works Program folder it does not get
replaced with a simple reinstall.

After running the cleanup utilities assure the Works Program folder is
remove. Also it is important to use clean boot.

See this for a typical example on how to...

Adding my Microsoft Works Suite 2001 to Windows 7

Posted: 21 Apr 2010 11:13 PM PDT

Paul Brooks,
Did your new PC come with Works 9 already installed? If it did try the
following.
1. Do a Custom Install of MS Works 2001. Installing one program at a time.
2. During installation, create a new folder/destination for the program
folders/files. and start-up shortcuts. Such as:

C:\Program Files\MS Works 2001

Do not use the default ones that the installation program uses.

If you prefer MS Works 2001 Suite over MS Works 9, and don't want Works 9,
you need to uninstall MS Works 9 first, also delete the C:\Program
Files\Works folder and its contents. Then install MS Works 2001 Suite, using
the custom method ( I would recommend).

Road trip log - Works template

I've figured out how to change miles to kilometres and gallons to litres by
just changing the text. What I have problems with now is converting the fuel
consumption from miles per gallon (=IF(H32,SUM(G14:G29)/H32,0) to the litres
per 100 Km formula in the road trip log template. Thanks.

Interesting problem you have there Dottie.

Is the date changed when looking at the document using Print Preview on the
File menu?

Are you using Print on the File menu to print the document?

Does date change after you typed the date (not inserted)?

Works contacts is in reality Windows XP Address Book. Do not know if
Windows 7 has similar Address Book, If it does, then there is simple ways to
move/export.

Start | All Programs | Accessories | Address Book

All of Works calendar data is in a hidden folder, assure you have access to
hidden folders, then search for mswkscal.wcd. When searching assure advance
option hidden folders is checked.

Everything in the folder that mswkscal.wcd is in that references the
calendar can be copied to similar location on other computer.

Works Custom Dictionary

Posted: 09 Apr 2010 04:34 PM PDT


Thank you for your answer.

I was able to find, and open (with notepad) the CUSTOM.DIC file, after your
telling me where it was located. It seems that not all the words I have put
into the dictionary are there. A lot of place names (names of towns) are
missing and proper names (of people.) There are probably 150 words in the
file, at most.

So some are in there, for a while, but after about a week, they are gone. It
is something just to deal with. I use Microsoft Windows 6.0. Vista

I use an older version of Word on a diff. computer (from 2002, it still
works fine, never had a problem with it), and I have thousands of words in
its Custom Dic. Never had a problem with it. The solution might be to shell
out for a copy of Word and put it on my laptop.

But I still like Works for its simplicity, and if this is one drawback,
maybe I'll live with it.

Thanks again,

jaksen
