Can you help me? |
| Posted: 18 Nov 2004 05:42 PM PST Gee, thank you Kevin, for reference and informative response! That was quick. :) What I can not understand yet -- 1) why does Microsoft UK site not list the latest version of this product to be 2005, like it does with, let's say, AutoRoute? This confuses people into believing that Suite 2005 they find on the Net, can be, indeed, just a typo of vendors. Having not seen Works Suite 2005 reference on a web site, I would quite expectedly not search for the product out there, as I suspect some components could be OLD... Neither did Google find it; AND Amazon.co.uk added to confusion, listing delivery date as 15-Oct-2005 and "accepting pre-orders" only. 2) Another question is - how comes it was out in Aug/Sept, if Money & AutoRoute were updated quite recently? Does it mean that Suite was delivered with OLD components? (I own Money & AutoRoute 2004 and would really hate receiving my order for 70+ quid just to find that there are same good ole components I had paid for a year ago...) *** Is there anything an MVP can do to expedite Microsoft to update their UK Website -- to reflect proper versions of Works Suite 2005 and all its components? I'd be keen to buy the Suite provided that I'm 100% sure it has ALL the NEW components (2005 editions). __________________ Maximilian "Kevin James - MSMVP Works" <org> wrote in message news:phx.gbl... |

| Posted: 16 Nov 2004 10:17 AM PST Hi Jeff, Thanks for posting info about Works 8. Ken "Jeff144" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... You could also Export the appointments you wish to keep to a backup drive. Save them as iCalendar (the default for Works 8) or vCalendar (the default for earlier versions) and you will be able to import them later into Works Calendar or any other calendar program that supports iCalendar or vCalendar. This way may be preferable if you will be using a different version of the software. The .wcd file isn't compatible between versions. The first time you run Works 8 after an upgrade, it goes through and brings the .wcd file up-to-date. If you try to copy an old .wcd file into an existing Works 8 installment, you may run into some problems. Jeff "Rick Johnson" wrote: for |

| Can't Copy of Move Works Files After Installing Norton 2005 Posted: 15 Nov 2004 01:09 PM PST I don't care for Norton either, but if you want to try something else before uninstalling Norton, try disabling script blocking and the office plugins in Norton.

| Works WP wont run missing ltkrn13n.dll Posted: 14 Nov 2004 10:16 AM PST Hey Kevin ... Thanks for the response. I took a clue from another post and found LTKRN13N.DLL in another directory on this machine. Actually, there are 4 different versions installed in 4 locations! I copied one to the Works directory ... Result: a new error msg .... LTFIL13N.DLL missing. Same procedure ... found 4 versions ... copied one to Works. Another new error ... sorry I don't recall the file name but I also found it. When the third file was copied to the Works directory, it worked!! Go figger! "Kevin James - MSMVP Works" wrote: |

| Posted: 12 Nov 2004 06:37 PM PST I beg to disagree. Although I concur, opening an MSWorks Database in excel defeats most purposes, I do have one Excel workbook that I use as a purpose designed Database, because I like the ability to sort up to 65,000 records, dropped in from Works.

| Sending mail from Word Document Posted: 12 Nov 2004 05:43 PM PST The Microsoft Internet Mail and News and Outlook Express programs do not come with a spell checker. They will use the spell checker from any of several Microsoft 32-bit (Win95/98/NT4 specific) programs. If using Works 4.0, a registry change is required. The Works 7 spell checker is not compatible with Outlook Express. There are also some freeware/shareware spell checkers that may work (see the URL in my signature). -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "amar" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

Ken wrote: Sounds the same as W 4.xx as long as I understand one can specify a number of labels less than the number on a full page and specify with which row to begin. And the only labels I've been doing are "Many copies of the same label". The latter is still an option in W7. But, as I said above, it prints an entire page of labels - no flexibility. My disdainful bemusement is expressed above. Chuck |

| Posted: 07 Nov 2004 01:46 PM PST Yep, I've archived your post, but realistically, I cannot see how exporting to a relational db is helpful. I have often wanted MSWorks to open more records in flat file and I notice opening 90,000 records in dbfview is painfully slow. So I guess the default of 30,000 records for works is still relevent albeit I have a dinosaur 366 celeron. Other advice was to open in Access, and set a limit to 60,000 records. I am not sufficiently versed in Access to do this. Cheers | Glad it helped. | BTW at http://usuarios.lycos.es/scratchupload/ they have a copy of Lotus | Works Ver1. I had used it for years and still keep it handy. It's an early | Suite type program and it has a relational database and macro capability.. | The Word processor and Spreadsheet of course were quite primitive. |
| Posted: 05 Nov 2004 09:04 PM PST Corrected (NoteBook to read Notepad) and added (click Options) to Microsoft Word. See below...... Hi Chuck, Re: Proofing tools... CUSTOM.DIC is the file used by my Microsoft Works Suite 2001. As it is shared with my (OE) Outlook Express version 6.0 I find there is an "Edit custom dictionary" button there. Open OE, click Tools on the menu bar, click Options, select the Spelling tab. Or I can open my Microsoft Word, click Tools on the menu bar, click Options, then select the Spelling & Grammar tab, select Custom.dic, clicking Dictionaries... will get me to an Edit button. Or I can search for custom.dic then open with Notepad. Note: Custom.dic is in the Proof folder which is in the Microsoft folder which is in the Application Data folder. The Application Data folder is hidden on a WindowsXP operating system, so when searching for custom.dic one has to have "Show hidden files and folders" ticked. Open Folder Options in the Control Panel, selecting View tab will display where "Show hidden files and folders can be ticked. Or open My Documents, click Tools on the menu bar, click Folder Options. Warning: when in Custom.dic do not add words, just delete the ones you do not want. Ken "Gualtier Malde (Chuck)" <com> wrote in message news:eXYid.51379$.. I believe I knew once how to remove words that I've added to a dictionary, or edit them, but can't find anything about that now. Please get me on track. -- The spam has finally gotten to me so I've corrupted the address above. Try 'yahoo'. |
