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

| 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. -- Mike - http://TechHelp.Santovec.us "renndog" <com> wrote in message news:com... |

| 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). -- Add MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com Rich/rerat (RRR News) <message rule> <<Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate>> "Paul Brooks" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...

| 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.
