| Microsoft Works Spreadsheet page x of y Posted: 19 Jan 2010 01:14 PM PST You can do that, but you'll have to manually update the footer for the total number of pages whenever that changes. So select Page «Page #» then type "of 5" or whatever the number is. If the number of pages doesn't change much, it's not a big deal. If you are expecting the number of pages to change, do a Print Preview and check the number of pages and then adjust the footer if needed. -- Mike - http://TechHelp.Santovec.us "Ken" <Thanks> wrote in message news:phx.gbl... |
| No Print Selection option in Works Word Processor 9.0 Posted: 16 Jan 2010 10:27 AM PST Hi, h2ofria, What I do is highlight section, choose copy, click "New Blank Document" on standard toolbar, Paste into new document, then print. I like using the simplified Works Word Processor, however for more complicated word processor operation I use OpenOffice Writer. Ken "h2ofria" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... | Thanks for the reply. I can print a single page or a range of pages but not | a highlighted section, which does not meet my needs.

| Posted: 14 Jan 2010 06:42 PM PST Since both Works 8 and Works 9 installations have the same problem, and since template files are nowhere to be found in my correctly functioning Works 9 installation (standard envelope configurations are canned or programmatically generated on demand in WkWpLng.dll), I'm *guessing* it's related to your printer driver, as are many Works problems. Make sure you have installed the latest driver for your printer. If you have, then I must defer to Ken and/or Michael. "Stan" <net> wrote in message news:phx.gbl... |

| Works 8.5 Envelope Has No Text Fields Posted: 10 Jan 2010 07:25 PM PST Hi Stan, OpenOffice is similar to Microsoft Office. The different is OpenOffice is Free. http://www.openoffice.org/ There is a tremendous amount of help on their website. Example: this tutorial shows how to use OpenOffice to print a #10 envelope that is 9.50" wide by 4.13" high. http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/tutorial/Print_An_Envelope.html Ken PS: if you do download instead of ordering a disc, be sure to save it so you can copy to disc or flash drive for backup.

| Importing Multiple Worsheets from Excel Posted: 07 Jan 2010 08:05 AM PST If you saved the Works file over the the Excel file with the same file extension, you are out of luck. However, the original Excel file should have had an XLS extension. By default, Works should have saved to either WKS (versions 5 or older) or XLR (versions 6 or newer). If you took the default, the original XLS file should still be there. But if you went out of your way to make Works save as an XLS file and replied OK when it warned you about over writing the original file, the original file is lost. -- Mike - http://TechHelp.Santovec.us "PJ" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

| Table sorting in Works 9 Word Processor? Posted: 03 Jan 2010 12:26 PM PST Suspect you will be installing Work Suite 2003 on Toshiba. By the way, if you want to use the hidden Works Word Processor you can put a shortcut to it on the desktop. To gain access to my hidden Works Word processor I searched for WksWP.exe, right clicked it, selected Send To and on the expanding menu clicked Desktop (create shortcut). Via this shortcut icon on the desktop I have access to Works Word Processor. I like the simplicity of the Works Word processor especially for creating and addressing Envelopes from Address Book, I think creating Labels is easier also.

| Two Calculations in one column Posted: 29 Dec 2009 09:18 AM PST Re: didn't think of hiding the columns with the formulas Glad it helped, you probably know this, but for others who may be reading these post the following is from Help about hiding and showing rows and/or columns. Hide a row or column 1 Click the row (cells arranged horizontally in a table or spreadsheet) or column (cells arranged vertically in a table or spreadsheet) you want to hide. 2 To hide a row, click Row Height on the Format menu. - or - To hide a column, click Column Width on the Format menu. 3 Type 0 (zero). 4 Click OK. Works hides the row or column. Note If you decide not to hide the row or column, immediately click Undo Row Height or Undo Column Width on the Edit menu. Show a hidden row or column 1 Select the rows above and below the row you want to show. - or - Select the columns to the left and right of the column you want to show. 2 To show a hidden row, click Row Height on the Format menu. - or - To show a hidden column, click Column Width on the Format menu. 3 If you clicked Row Height, click Set row height to fit the tallest text in the row. (You can also click Set row height (in points) to, and then type a number greater than zero.) - or - If you clicked Column Width, click Set column width to fit the widest text. (You can also click Set column width (in characters) to, and then type a number greater than zero). 4 Click OK. Note If you don't like the results, immediately click Undo Row Height or Undo Column Width on the Edit menu. Like I said OOo has a tremendous section for help.....

| Printing Word Processor Docs with Works 9 Posted: 23 Dec 2009 09:09 PM PST I visited my computer dealer today. He printed properly from Works Word word processor. He suggested I download the newest drivers for my printer and check for Vista updates. I could not get a more recent HP Laserjet 5 driver. HP says on their web site .. Windows Vista has current drivers for HP Laserjet 5. So, I started looking at my new PC for the problem: I went to Control Panel, Printers, Properties, Advanced, and "unselected" Print directly to printer and "selected" Spool print document ... Now when I print multiple copies of one specific page (like page 2 of 2 or page 1 of 1) and leaving the "collate" box checked I, get multiple copies OK. However, if I "uncheck" the collate box then I can only print 1 copy! So, half the problem is fixed ........???? -- Best Regards Vaughan Martell "marty09" wrote: |

In fact, I still use this method when I'm printing off the work I've done at the end of the year. Works version 6 BTW. My workaround may not be appropriate in this instance but it worked OK for me when I did it. I did have to set page limits etc. Not an elegant solution by any means but may get someone out of a hole. |
