Works 4.5 database conundrum

Golly,
I don't think so David, Omar was on another level
he often would get irritated I couldn't grasp his advice :)
He would sometimes talk in language I couldn't decipher :)
I have only one criticism,
they left Works for greener pastures I guess.

Labels maile merge filter options???

Posted: 06 Dec 2009 04:21 PM PST

Re: How would I check that?

Open a new Word processor document, on Tools menu choose Labels, in Labels
dialog window tick Mailing labels, click OK.

In labels settings dialog window, select your product, click New Document.

This will produce 'Open Data Source' dialog window with two choices.

What do you select?

Merge from Address Book or Merge information from another type file?

If the later, what is the name of the file and does it have a .wdb
extension.

The Arrow as 'end of line' marker...how do I delete it?

Posted: 25 Nov 2009 08:21 AM PST



Place your cursor in front of the arrow and hit delete.

If you have a line of 'em down the page
select by drag, and delete.

Envelope Alignment Default

Posted: 16 Nov 2009 01:34 AM PST

Re: separate envelope template does not open as I saved it.

Very unusual.

Try this.... Start a blank Word Processor document, click Tools then
Envelopes on the Word Processor page to open the envelope.

Get the envelope you want and alter it as desired.

With altered envelope still displayed, on File menu choose save, give it a
name and save it.

Close Works.

Open the envelope you just saved, did it open as you saved it?
