Microsoft Works Spreadsheet page x of y

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 01:14 PM PST

You can do that, but you'll have to manually update the footer for the
total number of pages whenever that changes.

So select Page «Page #» then type "of 5" or whatever the number is.

If the number of pages doesn't change much, it's not a big deal. If you
are expecting the number of pages to change, do a Print Preview and
check the number of pages and then adjust the footer if needed.

No Print Selection option in Works Word Processor 9.0

Posted: 16 Jan 2010 10:27 AM PST


Hi, h2ofria,

What I do is highlight section, choose copy, click "New Blank Document" on
standard toolbar, Paste into new document, then print.

I like using the simplified Works Word Processor, however for more
complicated word processor operation I use OpenOffice Writer.

Missing templates in Work 9

Posted: 14 Jan 2010 06:42 PM PST

Since both Works 8 and Works 9 installations have the same problem, and
since template files are nowhere to be found in my correctly functioning
Works 9 installation (standard envelope configurations are canned or
programmatically generated on demand in WkWpLng.dll), I'm *guessing*
it's related to your printer driver, as are many Works problems.

Make sure you have installed the latest driver for your printer. If you
have, then I must defer to Ken and/or Michael.

Works 8.5 Envelope Has No Text Fields

Posted: 10 Jan 2010 07:25 PM PST

Hi Stan,

OpenOffice is similar to Microsoft Office.

The different is OpenOffice is Free.
http://www.openoffice.org/

There is a tremendous amount of help on their website.

Example: this tutorial shows how to use OpenOffice to print a #10 envelope
that is 9.50" wide by 4.13" high.
http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/tutorial/Print_An_Envelope.html

Ken
PS: if you do download instead of ordering a disc, be sure to save it so you
can copy to disc or flash drive for backup.

Importing Multiple Worsheets from Excel

Posted: 07 Jan 2010 08:05 AM PST


If you saved the Works file over the the Excel file with the same file
extension, you are out of luck.

However, the original Excel file should have had an XLS extension. By
default, Works should have saved to either WKS (versions 5 or older) or
XLR (versions 6 or newer). If you took the default, the original XLS
file should still be there. But if you went out of your way to make
Works save as an XLS file and replied OK when it warned you about over
writing the original file, the original file is lost.

Table sorting in Works 9 Word Processor?

Posted: 03 Jan 2010 12:26 PM PST


Suspect you will be installing Work Suite 2003 on Toshiba.

By the way, if you want to use the hidden Works Word Processor you can put a
shortcut to it on the desktop.

To gain access to my hidden Works Word processor I searched for WksWP.exe,
right clicked it, selected Send To and on the expanding menu clicked Desktop
(create shortcut).

Via this shortcut icon on the desktop I have access to Works Word Processor.

I like the simplicity of the Works Word processor especially for creating
and addressing Envelopes from Address Book, I think creating Labels is
easier also.

Two Calculations in one column

Posted: 29 Dec 2009 09:18 AM PST

Re: didn't think of hiding the columns with the formulas

Glad it helped, you probably know this, but for others who may be reading
these post the following is from Help about hiding and showing rows and/or
columns.

Hide a row or column

1 Click the row (cells arranged horizontally in a table or spreadsheet) or
column (cells arranged vertically in a table or spreadsheet) you want to
hide.

2 To hide a row, click Row Height on the Format menu.

- or -

To hide a column, click Column Width on the Format menu.


3 Type 0 (zero).

4 Click OK.

Works hides the row or column.

Note If you decide not to hide the row or column, immediately click Undo
Row Height or Undo Column Width on the Edit menu.



Show a hidden row or column

1 Select the rows above and below the row you want to show.

- or -

Select the columns to the left and right of the column you want to show.


2 To show a hidden row, click Row Height on the Format menu.

- or -

To show a hidden column, click Column Width on the Format menu.


3 If you clicked Row Height, click Set row height to fit the tallest text in
the row.

(You can also click Set row height (in points) to, and then type a number
greater than zero.)

- or -

If you clicked Column Width, click Set column width to fit the widest text.

(You can also click Set column width (in characters) to, and then type a
number greater than zero).


4 Click OK.

Note If you don't like the results, immediately click Undo Row Height or
Undo Column Width on the Edit menu.

field widths in reports

As an 4.5a Version of MSWorks user, this a very old and common complaint,
It is fixable, but I can only say as far as my Version is concerned.

You can search the MSWorks Google database here
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.works.win/topics

Use the text string like "field widths" without commas.

Printing Word Processor Docs with Works 9

Posted: 23 Dec 2009 09:09 PM PST

I visited my computer dealer today.
He printed properly from Works Word word processor.
He suggested I download the newest drivers for my printer and check for
Vista updates.

I could not get a more recent HP Laserjet 5 driver.
HP says on their web site .. Windows Vista has current drivers for HP
Laserjet 5.

So, I started looking at my new PC for the problem:
I went to Control Panel, Printers, Properties, Advanced, and "unselected"
Print directly to printer and

"selected" Spool print document ...

Now when I print multiple copies of one specific page (like page 2 of 2 or
page 1 of 1) and leaving the

"collate" box checked I, get multiple copies OK.

However, if I "uncheck" the collate box then I can only print 1 copy!

So, half the problem is fixed ........????

What version of Windows are you attempting to run Works 3 on? It was

drivers.

You can try Right clicking the short cut that you use to start Works

My workaround may not be appropriate in this instance but it worked OK

Microsoft Word - Word 2007 - No Encarta dictionary

Microsoft Word - Word 2007 - No Encarta dictionary

Word 2007 - No Encarta dictionary

Posted: 19 May 2014 04:40 PM PDT

I'm still using Vista Ultimate. The Encarta dictionary in Word 2007 has always worked fine for me until I did the security updates on 5-14-14 (coincidence? I doubt it). It is just in the last few days that it has stopped working. I used it at the beginning of last week with no problem. But the day after the updates it no longer works. What happened? I seldom have issues with my computer, but the few times I did, it is always immediately after a Microsoft update.

I tried the unchecking of Encarta, etc. That did not help. Does anyone have any other ideas? Thank you.

Mail merge Fields collection includes fields that were previously deleted

Posted: 19 May 2014 03:04 PM PDT

We have several hundred mail merge documents that reference a table in our database.  When the developers are making changes to a column in the table, we run a macro against the documents in a folder that examines the mail merge fields and creates an output file with the document name and field name.  That allows the devs to identify what documents need to be changed.

However, Fields collection includes fields that were previously deleted.  I can't find a property that identifies it as active or inactive.  Is there a way to exclude these fields programmatically, or remove them from the document?  I tried RemoveDocumentProperties (wdRDIAll) but no luck.

Thanks,

Upgraded to Windows 7, Now Word is GONE

Posted: 19 May 2014 02:38 PM PDT

Hi,

I bought my ready made  computer online in 2008 with XP installed from Dell with complete Microsoft Office Suite for home installed. When I had to upgrade online to Windows 7, Powerpoint and Excel are still accessible on my computer, but have done many, many searches/alternate ways of locating Work, Essentails, etc. I had to use ABISOFT to write a document since I needed more flexibility than Wordpad. Please Help - I don't have keys since in was loaded on my computer by Dell.

Word 2013 freezes hangs when trying to save after editing and copying equations using the default Equation Editor:

Posted: 19 May 2014 02:18 PM PDT

I believe I've found a easy workaround to problems while editing, copying and saving equations.

But first, how I got here. Everything had been working fine with Word 2013 for me until few days ago when I was working with equations. I was specifically editing, copying & pasting equations within the same DOCX document. Word started freezing up and would not save during exiting the Word application. Word would just freeze and hang forever. My CPU and fan would go on full blast loud.

I had tried every possible troubleshooting procedure in these forums and knowledgebase articles including:

1) installing Office Compatibility Pack (even though I don't need Compatibility packs since I don't use older Office programs)

2) attempting repair of the Word document

3) removing all "add-ins" and trying Safe modes (I don't have ABBY fine reader)

4) repair of MS Office Pro Plus 2013

5) "clean" install of Windows 8.1 Professional on a relatively new 6GB RAM touchscreen PC with 400GB free hard-drive space

6) "clean" install of MS Office Pro Plus 2013 using MSI Installer / DVD

7) Applying all Windows Updates including Office 2013 Service Pack

8) Went to another computer that runs Windows 7 Enterprise with Word 2010 and this too showed the same problem.

Despite trying the above, Word 2013 continued to freeze and hang after working with equation editor and trying to save & exit.

Simple Workaround: CLEAR CLIPBOARD memory from Word after working with equations. Easiest way to do this is to either (1) do a "Clear All" from the Clipboard Icon in MS Word on the Ribbon, or, (2) just copy some text in your document and paste right over it before saving document or exiting application. This clears the Clipboard memory. Each time I did this, I had no problem!

It seems that Word is unable to handle something in RAM when working with equations and so emptying the Clipboard manually resolves this.

Issues using multiple multi-level lists in Word 2010

Posted: 19 May 2014 12:08 PM PDT

I'm trying to use more than one multi-level list in my Word doc.

One looks something like:

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

etc...

And the other would be:

Heading 1

Numbered Paragraph style

However, I don't seem to be able to use Heading 1 in both multi-level lists.  When I set one (using the "Define New Multi-level List" dialog box), it removes Heading 1 from the Level 1 position in the other, so that the 2nd level in that 2nd multi-level list is no longer linked to the Heading 1 number value (and therefore starts again at 1).

I've tried different combinations of "Apply changes to" setting and checking/un-checking "Restart List After".I've tried different combinations of "Apply changes to" setting and checking/un-checking "Restart List After".

Please help!

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this a limitation in using multi-level lists?

Columns and Styles in Word2010

Posted: 19 May 2014 11:49 AM PDT

Hello,

I would like to ask a question about Word 2010 the starter edition.

I have a 3 column page and each column begins with a title line.

The problem is when I try to apply a style (Header 2) to the titles: the second and third columns shift downward, the title of the second column doesn't even get the same style (the font is not bold) and, when clicking on it, no style is highlighted on the Home tab.

If I use Format Painter, I can convince the title of the second column to adopt it, but the drop in the second and third column remain.

How can I align the top of the 3 columns? I need to apply the Styles option (part of my assignment), a workaround is not good enough.

I tried checking "Suppress Space Before after a hard page or column break" (Advanced Options) without any success.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks.

Problems cross-referencing equations--508 compliancy

Posted: 19 May 2014 10:22 AM PDT

I have read earlier posts about this subject.  I set up my equation label to not include the label, but when cross-referencing an equation, the entire equation and any additional text is inserted (I have to treat the equation as part of a sentence, therefore requiring a comma, period, or ", and") along with the equation number that is located at the right margin in parentheses.

I would like to use the 3x1 table, but I am required to make my document compliant to 508 standards, meaning that I cannot place an equation in a table structure for the purpose of separating the equation from the label.  I've been told very clearly that I cannot do that.

Is there another solution available?

Word 2010 PDF Document

Posted: 19 May 2014 09:43 AM PDT

Track Changes: Tracking multiple author changes as one author

Posted: 19 May 2014 09:10 AM PDT

I am working in an environment where most of the users do not want their edits to be tracked by author. They've set it up so that the Office user name is the same across the enterprise so that when a second editor makes revisions to the previous editor's changes, the new revisions replace the previous changes and the original changes are deleted.

This causes multiple support issues, particularly when working with documents from outside or that have been edited from someone's home PC.

I am unable to find any documentation on how to consistently use Track Changes in this way.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Word 2010 consecutive page numbering in a document where several pages, midway through, must not to be included in page count...How?

Posted: 19 May 2014 05:28 AM PDT

We have a document with 5 sections, and it needs to be consecutively page numbered from 1 to 30. However, several pages must also be provided as 'attachments'  at the end of Section 2, and those pages must NOT be page numbered.

Complicating matters further, is the fact that as required text is entered into Section 2, Section 2 may grow unpredictably by a page or two, before the 'extra' pages need to appear.

We fully understand how to consecutively page number a document across multiple sections, but Word's built-in page numbering does not appear to be able to handle this kind of complex scenario.  There seems to be no way to tell Word to not include certain pages in the overall page count, yet consecutively auto-number all the other pages from 1-30.

Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this, other than the obvious (but impractical, for us) workaround of printing the document, then inserting the 'extra' pages? 

Numbered Lists in Word 2007

Posted: 19 May 2014 04:34 AM PDT

Good Morning,

I just took over  responsibilities for a large group of Word documents, and will be doing some major updating and editing.  The first thing I notice is the numbered lists are left aligned.  I used to work with Word 97, about 15 years ago, and now I see that MS has not corrected this.  It looks quite amatuerish to have the spacing between the number and the first character of text change when you go from 9 to 10.  Is there a reason why this has not been corrected. 

We will be updating our version of Office and Windows in several months and I hope this will have been addressed by then.

Thanks for any feedback.  I have hundereds of these lists to adjust in documents I need to update, and am hoping for the best.

inadvertently opening the on-line Research window

Posted: 18 May 2014 07:18 AM PDT

I have a Surface Pro tablet.  In Word, I frequently have the problem that some combination of keystrokes/mouse motions, and I can't figure out what combination that is, triggers the opening of what is called the "Research" window on the right side of the screen.  I try to close it either by clicking the red X close button or by selecting Cancel, and the window closes.  But then, when I go back to typing in Word, it pops open again, and depending on what I have typed in Word, it may place a random date within the document.  In any event, it will not let me continue to type without unwanted interference.  The only way to free myself from this menace is to close ALL Word documents, not just the one that I am currently working on, close Word, and then start again.  This is such an incredible nuisance and time-waster!  Why on earth would Microsoft put something in an application without making it obvious how to escape from it?  Have they learned nothing over the last 25 years?

Need a work around for {=PRODUCT(LEFT)} inability to ignore cells

Posted: 18 May 2014 01:02 AM PDT

Hi, and thanks for reading in advance.

I'm creating a newer invoice for my business, and have so far had great success with Word's cell referencing functions; I've managed to make the Sub Total field sum up any number of line totals by splitting the tables up, but have been told by my superiors that they want the line totals to be easier to use, using something like a PRODUCT(LEFT) Formula so the field can be copied into any line and still work without having to edit the formula.

This is where my problem lies... the invoice table must remain as it's always looked....

Quantity | Item Description | Unit Cost | Line Total

So using PRODUCT(LEFT) will only multiply the Unit Cost by 1 and stop there as the Item Description column is only text and therefore invalid... Using PRODUCT(RowNumber:RowNumber) works, but defeats the purpose as I'll need to change the formula every time I add a new row to that row number, which is what my superiors want to avoid at all cost. That also means that direct cell targeting is also out of the question.

I've read somewhere on Microsoft Help that the R1C1 referencing system works in Word, but further research says that it doesn't work completely. I've tried PRODUCT(R) which should multiply every valid cell in the row but the cell itself, but that ends up with a syntax error. It's a real shame because this seemed to be the perfect solution to my problem.

If anyone can help me with my dilemma, I'll be grateful. Oh, and I'm not against using macros either.

Can't open Office Word 2003 anymore

Posted: 17 May 2014 11:32 PM PDT

I've been able to use MS Word 2003 for years then suddenly after a power outage it locked ALL of the documents and other Office programs (like Excel & Powerpoint), then I uninstalled & re-installed it, that helped Excel & Powerpoint to work again. But for some reason I can't even open Word now!

Also, everytime I open any of the Office programs it tells me to "Activate your installation to fully enable the features." & I try but it says I've met the limit to do that with my product key. So how can I fix it & be able to open Word again? And is there a way to get a new registration key?

Office 2013 Pro PLus on Windows 8.1 update crashes when accessing files on Onedrive

Ladies, Gentlemen

I have seen other similar threads on here but my problem is that Word is really flaky when opening files from One Drive - it opens and crashes 6-7 times out of 10. It is Ok in Safe Mode so is this a known issue or is it just me?

Office 2013

Many little problems with Word 2013.  Often I lose the cursor where it does not appear on the page - it is actually at the point I want it to be, but can't see it until I save the document.   Tonight, working with tables, the bottom row of the table does not show text - the text is there if I show paragraph marks, but when I hide the marks the text disappears.  These issues do not happen in Word 2010 when working on the SAME document.  The document was generated in 2010 and I am not using .docx in word 13 - all files are being saved as .doc at this time.

Also if the text is already in the cell, and I try to modify (add/delete text) I cannot see the addition or deletion - the original text remains unless I show paragraph marks.  When I hide the paragraph marks, the modifications disappear.

Tinkering - realized if I SNAP the doc to the side of the screen the text does not show.  In any other size the text is visible and changes to existing text can be seen.  Using Word 2010, snapping the doc to the side of the screen works fine.

Is there a fix or is this something we all get to live with?  I am running a 23" HD monitor.

I am running Win 7 64 Bit -

Diehard problem: how to change WORD use its default font according to IME

Posted: 17 May 2014 07:44 PM PDT

It is an intelligent bug. I am using Simplified Chinese IME but want to use traditional Chinese font. Even though I already set a Traditional Chinese font in setting (preference) as default and saved for all document, when I do following steps, WORD will change the font to be SIMSUN which is WORD default Simplified Chinese font. (typing Chinese first, English later, back to Chinese then). I found the problem is that WORD will use a default font according to the IME over customer setting default font. Since WORD set Simplified Chinese IME to use SIMSUN front, I cannot change to use my default font except changing to use a Traditional Chinese IME. How can I disable this bug function.
