Microsoft Works - Customizing task launcher impossible?

Microsoft Works - Customizing task launcher impossible?

Customizing task launcher impossible?

Posted: 13 Jan 2005 03:35 AM PST

Aldus sprak Kevin James - MSMVP Works op 15-1-2005 18:02:
 

Dear Kevin,

this downgrading of the task launcher is another example of the way MS
looses sympathy among the users of its software.

I worked around the matter by opening a new folder on my desktop and
putting shortcuts in it to my own templates and the programs making up
Works 8. This way I do not need the task launcher any more. I never use
projects or the calendar, except for birthdays. The question now arises:
what did we win with this new version? I cannot see any advantages over
version 7.

Keep up the good work!

Erik.

Hello Ron,

Works 4.5a operates if it is loaded subsequent to Works 8.

Multiple tabs in spreadsheet

Posted: 11 Jan 2005 05:53 AM PST

To my knowledge this is not possible. But there is a work around i have found
to view the different tabs but in different Spreadsheet files.

Here are the steps:
1. Create as many copies of the Excel files as the number of tabs in the
file.( I usuall create a folder and copy the Excel file into it and name it
as tab1.xls,tab2.xls and so on)
2.Now Open Spreadsheet and File -> Open. Point to tab1.xls and open it in
Spreadsheet. Choose the first tab in the "Import Excel Spreadsheet" dialog.
3.Now open Spreadsheet again and File -> Open. Point to tab2.xls and open in
Spreadsheet. Choose the second tab in the "Import Excel Spreadsheet dialog".

This way you can open each and every tab in an Individual Works Spreadsheet
document. This way you can view all the tabs at the same time.

Sadly, you have to create many copies of the Excel file because once you
open the Excel File in Spreadsheet for the first time you cannot open it in
another Spreadsheet file since one instance of it is already Open.

If there are easier ways to do this please do share.

The best way to work with versions of Works later than version 4 is to
make an intermediate file yourself. Choose csv or txt format and put
field names in the first record. The formatting of numbers, amounts,
dates and times that you have chosen in the databse will be transferred
to the intermediate file, and you can merge from this file easily.

Posted: 08 Jan 2005 10:59 PM PST

You could create an address book with customised fields using the Works
Spreadsheet or database. I dont think you create new fields in the address
book.

If you use the Works database for this purpose you can mail merge into the
Works Word Processor or Word without a problem.

The first suggestion in the list will be "these" and not any word like
"cheese" which might be alphabetically higher.

No CDs for Update HELP Requested

Posted: 15 Sep 2004 08:57 AM PDT

Time after time questions like these appear on this newsgroup and the advice
given by MVPs (Most Vulgar Professionals) is invariably misleading and
unlikely to solve the problem in the long run. The simplest solution is as
follows:

1) Determine how many departments are there in an organization;
2) Determine how many personnel are employed in each department;
3) As a rule of thumb, calculate the number of copy CDs required to
distribute by dividing the number of personnel by 5 { basially 1 CD for each
5 users}
4) Make/copy number of CDs required for distribution to each department;
5) Record the VLK number on each CD using permanent marker;
6) Send these CDs to each department for use by them;

From my experience every time I try to update Office (XP or 2003) the
original CD is always required. I have installed nearly 1000 copies for my
clients and now I find that the only way to minimise my own time/cost is to
distribute copy CDs with firm's own VLK inscribed on it. If Microsoft wants
to be difficult with its customers so be it. We too can be difficult even
if there is a risk of piracy by distributing copy CDs with VLK. At the end
of the day we too are running a business like Microsoft and we too have
targets to achieve. My solution is a long lasting one.

I have also heard that Office 2005 will not require activation because
Microsoft has just realised that it is losing more money by people not
buying its product due to total cost of ownership, incidentally this
includes support costs such as patching its crap product range. I consider
common sense has prevailed here!!

Hope this helps.

Hardware Modem: Your *personal* choice. The one you are using,

Posted: 08 Sep 2004 08:37 PM PDT

In article <com>, great-
net (Dickie) writes:
 

I've always used external modems (since the 300-baud days)
and probably always will. I know this is bucking the current
these days, since internal modems have two things that make
them attractive to users to the exclusion of all else: they're
convenient (i.e. in the box) and they're cheap. Unfortunately,
"cheap" now usually means one of those controllerless modems
("Winmodems") which leaves out half of its electronics by getting
your CPU to waste cycles doing the modem's work for it. It also
makes such modems more difficult to use on a non-Windows system
because you need special drivers for them (although Microsoft,
of course, considers this an advantage).

The other downside to an internal modem is that it lacks readily
accessible lights and power control. In my work I use modems
for many things other than dialing into an ISP. Setting up such
installations can be pretty tricky, and those indicator lights
are very useful in diagnosing problems. The modem's power switch
provides a quick and easy last resort when you want to drop a
connection without crawling around behind the box; or it lets
you easily reset the modem without rebooting the entire machine.

Currently I have a U.S. Robotics 56K faxmodem. It works pretty
well, although it has been temperamental at times. If I were to
buy another modem I'd probably try another brand, but the USR was
readily available and generally works well enough.

My modem is on a four-port switch; I share it among the Amiga with
which I'm posting this message, two laptops running Linux, and a
Windows 98 box. One of the Linux laptops has an internal Winmodem,
but I found it much easier to just string a cable from its serial
port to my modem switch (it doesn't leave the office all that often).

As for the Win98 box, my policy is to never give Windows unsupervised
access to the Internet. I admit that my situation is different from
many people's, in that what 'Net access I need can be handled by
other machines running other OSes. I cannot justify the ongoing
investment in time and money that's needed to install and maintain
firewalls and anti-virus software for an OS that's so ridden with
security holes, yet I need a modem on this machine for non-Internet
applications which I develop. Here, too, an external modem proves
its worth. There's no way that any spyware or malware (and, being
the paranoid sort, I consider this to include Windows itself) can
get out and start doing damage if the modem is either physically
disconnected or switched off.

Microsoft Word - MS Word -- Corrupted Heading Numbers

MS Word -- Corrupted Heading Numbers

Posted: 21 Jun 2013 06:04 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I've run into the "corrupted heading numbers" problem again.

 

I was going to tell you the problem, but logging in to my work computer fresh this morning, for some reason the problem went away! (Did the reboot somehow fix it?)

 

Anyway, I will tell the story anyway, and perhaps one (or several) of you can weigh in and provide insight/add'l info.

 

Background:

Word 2007, Windows 7. Large (160-page) file, heading values from 1-4. Many diagrams (Figures and Tables).

 

After a long editing session yesterday (where text and Visio pictures were copied in from outside documents), all of a sudden I noticed that my Heading2 numbering values went from 3.7 to 4.1 (the next value should've been 3.8). I tried toggling it to Heading 1, 3, 4, 5 and back to 2 again, to no avail. I checked the style for Heading2 and unfortunately the box was set to "automatically update", which I know fromn previous dealings w/ the MS Word community is not what you want! So I unchecked it for Heading2, 3, 4, etc. so they were all fixed. This didn't make the problem go away, however. So I saved it to another version and went home, frustrated.

 

I came back in today, brought up the file, and magically the problem went away!  How did it "fix itself"?

 

Thanks!

Thanks for the info on Works Suite 2005 installation. That will save the
extra Works 7.0 uninstall step.

How to get from OEM Works 6.0 to current MS supported version?

Posted: 03 Jan 2005 07:43 AM PST

Hi Dannie,

There should be no problem replacing Works 6 with Works 8 in
the situation you describe, with Word and OE.

OE will be updated if older than that provided with Works 8 but
remains unchanged if newer and you retain the use of Word.

Double records in works 7.0 database

Posted: 03 Jan 2005 05:55 AM PST

Hi Hans:

The attached database (created with 4.5a) includes a filter,
"Duplicate" that will select them for you. While both databases use a
2-element "text stack", the "IF" function does not work reliably under
recursion. (E.G, in a formula that references the field name containing
it. The CHOOSE function handles it better). Also By padding out stack
elements to exactly 20 chars with whitespace, one can simplify the
formula and significantly shorten the processing in a large database.
After pasting in your data column, you must sort the data before
applying the filter. Alternatively you may add the "TSD|" field with
its formula to an existing database and create a formula filter.

Works 8 and the loss of spell checking in Outlook Express.

Posted: 02 Jan 2005 01:57 PM PST

Hi Tompat,

A great solution to the spell check problem, which makes me wonder, perhaps
the proofing tools offered for down load on the web is simply the same
program you installed from your MS Works4.5 disk.

Thanks for your reply,
Ken

Hello Ken:

Your advice was the best solution! After installing Work 8, I then
installed MS Works 4.5 in a separate directory last. However, I went one
step better, I did a custom install of MS Works4.5 , installing only the
proofing tools. The setup interface complained about my choice, but
allowed
it anyway.

Voila! My spell check in Outlook Express has been restored and I have Works
8 installed too.

Thanks Ken!

Sincerely,

Tompat

Can't open History documents, Works 7.0

Posted: 01 Jan 2005 11:01 AM PST

Hi KSGood,

Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel should be a straightforward
operation to remove and subsequently reinstall Works to your computer,
with the installation discs provided. The installation process issues the
necessary instructions as it progresses.

I believe that Adaware can adversely affect a Works installation; possibly
due to it running in the background during an install, cf. Norton
Antivirus.

There should be no need to uninstall and reinstall Money 2004, at this
time.

HTH,

Sound when starting Word 2002

Posted: 30 Dec 2004 08:32 PM PST

Kevin I should like to thank you again for you help and directions on where
to look.

Got out my computer install notebook and started to read the most recent
entries. You guess it !

Recently I updated or should I say upgraded from Paper Port 9 to Paper Port
10. Version 10 has changed the way one keeps and scans files - for the
better I think - and has opened up new ways to use files. Along with Paper
Port 10 a program named ScanSoft PDF Create is included which allows one to
convert Word files to image-only PDF files. Along with that Marco ability
in WORD you can call the same procedure when using Paper Port to display
one's files.

I am sure that the Technical Writers would hammer the above explanation ...
grin.

Thanks again!
