| Posted: 30 Oct 2006 09:27 AM PST Hi Marek, There is speculation that Works may become a web-based service: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/microsoft_plans_web-based_works_suite.php As for support, here are the lifecycles for the current products. Works Suite 2006 - http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=9499 (1/11/2011) Works 8 - http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=6528 (1/12/2010) Of course, they will continue to operate on machines after this date.

| total Pages in footer in works 8 Posted: 28 Oct 2006 10:12 PM PDT Hi Bob, Unfortunately, this feature is no longer available in Works. Perhaps this manual workaround helps. The total number of pages (and the current page number) is listed on the status line, at the bottom of the window. Type this total number of pages into the footer, The value will have to be checked each time a change is made to the document and especially before printing. HTH, -- Kevin James.

| transfering my works registration Posted: 25 Oct 2006 11:55 AM PDT Activation is completed either directly via the Internet or by a telephone call to a customer service representative. See the middle link I provided earlier, repeated here for convenience: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011187761033.aspx Activate by using the telephone "In step 2 of the Activation Wizard, use the number provided to call the Microsoft Activation Center." "What happens if I don't activate? Before you activate, you can run the software up to 50 times. After that, the software will go into Reduced Functionality mode. You will not be able to save modifications to documents or create a new document, and additional functionality might be reduced. Full functionality returns when you activate the software." Before anything else you should confirm the following, earlier you mentioned the word "registration"; When you start Word and click Help>Activate Product Does it say "The product has already been activated." If so, you may continue to use the product unhindered, elsewise see the activate by telephone advice given above. HTH, -- Kevin James.

As a caution, instead of overwriting I rename mswkscal.wcd to mswkscal.old then copy the backup mswkscal.wcd into the folder.

| Compatibility of MS Publisher with older versions Posted: 24 Oct 2006 09:53 AM PDT Hi Frustrated, Works 4.0A can be upgraded to Works 4.5A here: http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx#EnglishY2K This runs on modern systems. Works 8.0 can be upgraded to Works 8.5 here: http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/international/update_1001.mspx Note that this entails the loss of some features. Works 8 and Works 4.5 can coexist on the same computer, albeit that there are minor configuration considerations. Works file compatibility is given here: http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/more/worktogether.mspx Generally, Works files can be Saved As for exchange with Office users though the journey from Office back to Works may be unsatisfactory.

| Posted: 22 Oct 2006 11:06 AM PDT Hi Kevin James, I watched your video on mail merge and I'm having trouble with my database. When I try to open it a message comes on saying "it cannot be opened because there are blank fields and/or contains character you can't use in a mail merge list". I'm not sure how to filter this database so I can open it for the labels. Also, the address portion of the insert fields is too long to put the city, state & zip code on one line. Is there a way to correct the program? eg: the program shows the insert field as "home address, street" "home address, city". How can I remove the "home address" and just show "street", "city", etc. DG "DG" wrote: |
| Posted: 21 Oct 2006 09:09 PM PDT ...because that is a "faux reading" eg: in another field, join that fields contents with anything, say "N" or perhaps another fields contents, the formatting is then lost. The only way your solution is viable is when the operator used CTRL C, CTRL V to cement the 3 format string. Not wanted in my circumstance. Thx "ANONYMOUS" <COM> wrote in message news:COM... |

| Posted: 19 Oct 2006 07:08 PM PDT Ta Kevin, I'll have a look at those clipboard links, the one I had, I found kept having MSWorks have critical errors and aborting. One cannot (or rather "does not want to") insert field entry into the report. It requires selection from a drop down list of 253 (Ugh!) each time, which defeats the purpose. No matter, we shall endure this minor irritation. "Kevin James" <com> wrote in message news:phx.gbl... |
