| Open a MicrosoftWord'02 edition document in a MicrosoftWord'03 pro Posted: 15 Aug 2007 03:36 PM PDT Just opening a document won't alter it. You have to Save it for that to happen. If you save a file from a different version, even without making any manual changes, there may be some internal changes made due to differences in file formats. Newer versions of programs can generally open older versions of files back a few versions. It's more likely for an older version of a program to have problems opening a newer version file. But this is generally only a problem when some major file format changes have been made. In some cases there are little or no file format changes. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "[[abby]]" <[[abby]]@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
| Print to 1 page (shrink to fit)? Posted: 14 Aug 2007 08:10 PM PDT I'm not very fluent in english so I summarize sometimes too much. I don't know also the real english menu and settings. First, have you check your printer driver's options as Kenny suggested ? It's probably the most easy way. Otherwise, There is two ways : - create a multiple (paper sheet format) page pdf - create an unique page pdf file using a standard paper size like A3, A2.. or a customized dimensions page. Both must recover the worksheet's area you want to print. (If this area doesn't start in the top left corner, then you can define a print area in the File or Insert menu) To change the page's size, you must go in the File > Layout menu in Works. Don't forget to set the orientation : Portrait or Landscape If you set customized dimensions, you may receive a warning message about a conflict between the printer configuration and the page size during the printing. Just go on. After the pdf file is created, the Adobe reader windows should pop-up and, then, you can print your document. If you used a customized dimensions page or a standard size greater than your paper's sheet size, you must select adjust/shrink to margin in the scaling field. If you created a multiple pages pdf, you must select "multiples pages by sheet" in the same field and set the number and order of the pages. Check your Adobe reader version if you don't find this options (I use the version 7 and the 8 should work also) I hope this will help you to do the job. Regards.

| Works 8.5 Word Processor with Vista Posted: 14 Aug 2007 11:12 AM PDT There seems to be something peculiar about the files there. I downloaded the English MS Word version. I can open it OK in my MS Word XP, as well as WordPad on Windows XP. But my Works 6 would take forever trying to convert it or come up with some conversion error messages. I think you are out of luck using Works on those files. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "HBenitez" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
| E-mail a Power Point slide show Posted: 13 Aug 2007 10:58 AM PDT The actual file extension doesn't matter. You still send it the same way. As for the PPTX, that means that it's a Power Point Microsoft Office Open XML Format Presentation. To change the file extension you'd need to do a File, Save As in PowerPoint to a different format. The reason for doing that would be if the recipient doesn't have a program that can handle the PPTX file type. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Palm Desert" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

| Posted: 10 Aug 2007 08:34 PM PDT Works 2000 is version 5. It will be similar, but there are some differences.

| Posted: 06 Aug 2007 10:08 AM PDT I'm very surprised that, what i would deem to be, a much needed really basic feature is not available. It's also a pain in reverse in that if a large entry is replaced by a smaller one the column stays wide. I couldn't get the double click on the border to work. That may just be me?. Whilst thankful for and appreciating the short cut given, it still leaves a relatively cumbersome and 'long' task. Anyway, thanks for the assistance as it stops me wasting many an hour trying to work out a solution that is not available. -- this SHAM of DEMOCRACY leaves NO CHOICE sham.manchesterpaul.net for Life, Love, Peace, Justice and Truth Who_Murdered_Democracy If you pass me by - Such a shame, shame, shame "Kevin James" wrote: |

| Posted: 05 Aug 2007 12:32 PM PDT Hello Liz, I have Works version 6.0. One way I rotate text is to use a Text Box. Choose insert on the menu bar, on it's menu choose Text Box. Type desired text in the box, while cursor is still in the box choose Format on the menu bar, on it's menu choose Text Box. In the Format Text Box dialog window select the Size tab, for Rotation use up or down to set desired degree (180 will turn the box upside down).

| Posted: 04 Aug 2007 08:18 AM PDT Kevin, Thanks for your message. The thread you point to refers to pre production Vista. The download 'drvUpdate-x86.exe' appears to be for pre 6000 Vista. I can sync between Win Mob 5 device and Outlook on this system so Vista seems to be operating as advertised. Works 8.5 has two built-in Sync options, one for Palm and one for CE devices. I am seeking a way to sync Works with a Win Mob 5 device. Brian "Kevin James" <com> wrote in message news:phx.gbl... |

| Posted: 02 Aug 2007 09:48 AM PDT Removing an application does not remove the data. But it's always a good idea to back up any data that you consider of value, especially before an install. But since you are skipping several versions, there is the possibility that the newer version might have problems reading/converting some older file formats. Microsoft often changes file formats and the newer version can usually read/convert a couple of versions back. Do you still have the original install CD for the older version? If so, you can usually reinstall the older version after installing the newer one. Just make sure that you install to a different program folder. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Jimbo1" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
