| Works 8.0 - Compatibility with Word Documents Posted: 31 Oct 2005 07:00 PM PST I am not sure of the process, but MS offers a 30 day warranty, I believe. So if you just bought it, then take it back and get the Works Suite, which includes Word. It really is not that much more and then you won't have the problem you describe. If you are going to use Excel files a lot, then you are not going to be happy with the Works spreadsheet. If you need full Office function, then buy Office.

| Posted: 31 Oct 2005 03:48 PM PST Erik, thanks for your help, but neither worked. I deleted all files in windows/temp and the program gave the same error message. Then I downloaded and instralled openoffice, but its database couldn't open mine. Incidentally, I'm only trying to print out one label and I have even tried dumping all records in the database except the one and that didn't work. So I suspect the program may be generating a huge print file, but I don't know how. "Erik Jan" wrote: |

It says that replacements have been made, but when I look at the document, it's the same as it was before. And it's only the Replace All that's doing this. If I replace the paragraph marks one at a time, it works fine. |
| Streets & Trips Essentials 2006 (Suite 2006) vs Streets & Trips 20 Posted: 29 Oct 2005 12:40 PM PDT What I should say is: Does Streets and Trips Essentials 2006 in Works Suite 2006 have a function called, Drive Time Zone, (where you place a point on the map and give it a travel time and the speed, then Streets and Trips Essentials 2006 makes a zone perimeter around your point of origin. Therefore showing how much ground in a given amount of time the traveler can cover. "Kevin James - MSMVP Works" wrote: |

| Posted: 28 Oct 2005 02:31 AM PDT Hi Kevin, I am using OEM 8.0 - It only allows 0.28 width (in the word processor) but the tables in LABELS for example are set to 3mm (with Templates from the Task Launcher). Regards John |
| Security Update for Works 8.0 and Works Suite 2005. Posted: 27 Oct 2005 01:53 PM PDT Maybe Word 2003 style intergrated drawing canvas/wordart or a draw/paint module (based on Expression maybe) would be good in v 9 |
| Posted: 27 Oct 2005 07:11 AM PDT What's fixed? The fact that the place is not kept if you have tiles frozen? If so, maybe I need to get Works 8 :-). "Kevin James - MSMVP Works" <org> wrote in message news:%phx.gbl... |
| Works Database file duplication Posted: 27 Oct 2005 07:04 AM PDT From Help.... Create a backup copy of a database Why make a backup copy? Make a backup copy of a database to safeguard its contents. For example, if you made changes to fields (a column in List view that shows a category of information, such as a serial number or purchase date) in the working copy of a database, saved those changes, and later discovered that you wanted an earlier version, you could use the backup copy instead of rewriting the database or trying to re-create the original version from memory. To create a backup copy of a database, you need to be able to see your database's file extension (a period and letters added to the end of a file name, such as .doc, that indicates the type of file). 1 Turn on file extensions. How? 1 On the taskbar (a bar on the Windows desktop that has the Start button to start programs and shows which programs are currently running), click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. 2 On the View menu, click Folder Options. 3 If it is not already selected, click the View tab. 4 In the Advanced settings box, in Files and Folders, clear the Hide file extensions for known file types check box. Be aware that the command names and check box names vary depending on the operating system on your computer. For example, instead of Folder Options on the View menu, the command may be called Options. Or, the check box may be called Hide MS-DOS file extensions for file types that are registered. 5 Click OK. 2 Open the database for which you want to make a backup copy. 3 On the File menu, click Save As. 4 In the Save in box, select where you want to save the database. The default location for Works databases is My Documents. 5 If you are creating a new database, type a name for the database in the File name box. - or - If this is an existing database, skip this step. 6 Select the Create Backup Copy check box. 7 Click Save. 8 Click Yes to replace the existing file. - or - If this is a new database, skip this step. 9 On the toolbar (a row of buttons near the top of a window that you can click to perform an action, such as to print or save a document), click Save .. The backup copy will be saved with the same name as the original database, except it will have an extension that begins with b. For example, the backup copy for a database named Sales.wdb will be Sales.bdb. The most recent backup copy always replaces the previous backup copy. Note To stop making backup copies, on the File menu, click Save As, and then clear the Create Backup Copy check box.

| Custom Install of Works Suite 2000 Posted: 26 Oct 2005 10:13 AM PDT Hi DavidF, Yes, the TweakUI Powertool does this, outside of Works. In particular TweakUI >My Computer>Special Folders > there are many http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/sampchap/6232a.asp#138 You may also directly edit the regitry for same effect: Go to: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion Locate ProgramFilesDir where the default is given as C:\Program Files Change this to whatever directory you wish. e.g D:\MyPrograms HTH, -- Kevin James.

| Posted: 26 Oct 2005 07:14 AM PDT Judy zei het volgende op 1-11-2005 14:51: Dear Judy, you should know that in Microsoft Works "upgrades" are made by removing features. If you need to be able to rotate text frames, you should buy works 6 (perhaps 7, I do not remember now, but certainly version 6) Look at version 8: MS made a safety patch that "upgrades" version 8 to 8.5. When you do this, you loose Wordart and Draw. No replacement whatsoever. This is typical for MSWorks. after version 4. I am sorry, Erik. |

| Posted: 24 Oct 2005 05:50 AM PDT Hi John, Colours in a spreadsheet are limited to those in: Format>Font>Seect Font Colour. No, it is not possible to insert a graphic into a Works spreadsheet cell. The incorrectly operating text-wrapping function in Works has long been complained about in this Newsgroup. Unfortunately, a solution is not yet forthcoming. Wrap>Absolute operated perfectly well in Works 4.5. HTH, -- Kevin James.

| Posted: 24 Oct 2005 04:06 AM PDT Hi Kevin, Thanks for taking the time to answer my post. We can link to a "word, excel, text document on the hard drive fine. It is when we try to link to any actual web address like "http://www.microsoft.com". We are compiling website research for some training materials and would like to have the links to all the articles available outside the document in this project file. We do have Office XP and Works 7.0 installed on the troubled laptop with Windows XP Home SP2. I have Office 2003 installed on my laptop with works 7.0 and Windows XP Home SP1 and experience no problems. "Kevin James - MSMVP Works" wrote: |
