| Posted: 27 Jun 2005 11:35 AM PDT Hi AR, You will be able to transfer Office documents into their associated Works programs, but please do remember that Office provides a far wider range of features than Works does and that you will likely not be content with the limited facilities that Works provides in return. In general, Works 8 will allow you to exchange data for simple reviewing and editing purposes. http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/more/worktogether.mspx Transfer of Excel spreadsheet may be unsatisfactory as Works does not support the multiple spreadsheet model. It also does not support many of Excel's advanced functions and features. Similar for word processing, and incompatibilities do arise with the transfer of files between Works and Word. With regard to Access and Works databases, databases do not comfortably interchange between the two though data may be used to create new databases. Perhaps upgrade to Office, for total flexibility between work and home. http://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/howtobuy/professional.mspx#EEAA HTH, -- Kevin James.

| Posted: 26 Jun 2005 04:20 PM PDT First of all, I'd like to say thank god I'm not going crazy!! Everyone keeps telling me to unclick that box and I've checked, double checked and triple checked...IT'S NOT THERE!! So glad you and Joe now see (or don't see) what I'm talking about. The first place I checked was in the startup folder...nothing there to delete. I'll check out that Startup Control program you mentioned, but I have to say BOOOOO...HISSSSSSS to Microsoft for eliminating that option and forcing people to download ANOTHER program just to get rid of one of their annoying toolbar!!! That's ridiculous!!! "Paul Ballou" wrote: |

| Works 8 Database Printing More Than One Record Per Page Posted: 22 Jun 2005 05:19 AM PDT Hi BikerMom, Two copies of the single form are too large to fit on a single page. Adjust margins Adjust headers & footers Reduce font size where able Reduce record spacing ( manually input smaller size that that offered) Shorten ( and widen ) large multi-lined 'description' field. Use borderless printing if supported by the printer. Solution e-mailed, an amended database edited as above, . HTH, -- Kevin James.

Like Rachael, I have a Works 2000 v5.0 question. I have v5.0 on my computer, but I don't use it. Instead, I use Word 2002. However, I just got a ..wps document from someone that I have been unable to open. I thought about upgrading then realized there is no upgrade (without purchase). I have checked out the various converters, but I'm not sure which one I should use. And to add to it-I don't know what version of Works that the document I need to open was created on. Any recommendations? Thanks! Michelle "Jim Macklin" wrote: |
| Creating Links within a Document Posted: 19 Jun 2005 02:39 AM PDT Show all hidden punctuation and characters, then you can manually enter the HTML tags. You must include a "name" tag at the spot you want to link to on the page and have the hyperlink use that name as the target. You can use the same name as a target as in "TOP" so you can return to the top of the page, but otherwise each place needs a unique name which can be anything. <A HREF="2ndparagraph">Second Paragraph</A> links to <A NAME="2ndparagraph"></A> Optionally you can show the text Second Paragraph but it isn't needed. <A HREF="top">TOP</A> and <A NAME="top"></A> will work, just put the name tag near the top of the page and use as many HREF tags as you need. -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm "Kevin James - MSMVP Works" <org> wrote in message news:%phx.gbl... | Hi Matthew, | | Unfortunately, in-document Bookmarks/Hyperlinks are not an option | within Works word processor, though this is an option in the more | "extensively featured" Word, via its Insert menu. | | In Works, you may use the Insert menu and create Hyperlinks to: | | A website or file on the Internet. | An e-mail address. | A file on your hard disc. | | Perhaps, use the Edit menu options Find or Goto options ? | | HTH, | -- | Kevin James. | Tua'r Goleuni | Microsoft MVP (Works) 1999-2005 | Works KB Links: http://www.btinternet.com/~kevin.james1/WorksFAQ.htm | | | | | | "Matthew" <microsoft.com> wrote in message | news:com... ||I realize what a hyperlink is (linking to an external source), but is there a || way to create a link to another section of a document within the same || document?
