| Posted: 25 Dec 2007 12:46 AM PST Thank you Mike for the response. This is a different case, because the computer is not here before me. It is a computer a fellow has about a mile from here, but when get to his place, I'll take your instructions with me. Thanks again for the feedback sir! "Michael Santovec" wrote: |

| Adding Holidays to Works 8 Calendar Posted: 21 Dec 2007 07:02 PM PST The Works Calendar used to include the holidays, but more recent releases have that feature removed. However, because the calendar supports importing iCal files; you can do an internet search for iCal holiday files and import that into your calendar.

| Posted: 21 Dec 2007 10:43 AM PST Hi Robin, I have Works Suite 2001 which includes Works Word Processor version 6.0 and Microsoft Word version 2000. Like you, using Works Word processor, If I just right click on the image without highlighting it or anything and copy/paste, it comes out fine. However, if I highlight any text along with the image, it come out squished. It looks like your version of Works Word processor functions the same as mine. However, if I highlight text along with the image and paste it into Microsoft Word it comes out okay. I do not know why.

| Posted: 19 Dec 2007 07:54 AM PST Your consideration may include dispensing with this solution altogether, it is hazard prone. Make your Folder your database, eg "Home Inventory" If you name your files with a date precursor eg "20071220 edwardian desk" etc they will all fall into date sequence when viewed by windows explorer, or any image program you use. If you save your MSWorks Home Inventory with an exclamation ! eg !Home Inventory the database will remain at the top of the tree, and your images below it. You are not restrained to poor thumb images, nor by file extensions, you can have *.jpg sitting alongside HTML, alongside *.gif, alongside excel or anything. Updating an image will be a breeze, and freedom will be comforting. "Bob H." <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

Well you should be fine, I cannot comment on MSWorks 7, I have 4.5a which always used to dislike out of date printer drivers, and out of memory was a usual glitch. Good luck. |
| Works8.5 download keeps trying to install Posted: 14 Dec 2007 02:40 AM PST Hi Sandy, The security update for Works 8 or Works Suite 2005 http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/international/Update_1001.mspx has been out for some time, I do not recall others posting about problems installing the update. You could redownload the update or order a CD. Either way, I would use the cleanup utilities (completely get existing Works off the computer) , clean boot, then reinstall. Example of how to do this can be found at... http://support.gateway.com/s/SOFTWARE/MICROSOF/sHARED/7513181faq24.shtml Then install the security update using clean boot procedure. Good luck and let us know your results. Thanks, Ken "Sandy" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... | Hi Ken, | | Thanks for your response. Yes, already thought of that... in fact I went | into MSConfig and disabled all startup TSR's. That didn't work. Went into | Safe Mode. That didn't work!

| Posted: 13 Dec 2007 11:00 AM PST I, too, am having trouble printing envelopes. I printed about a dozen, then when I came back to print more at a later time, my envelopes shoot through the printer with the message "Print Cancelled". I had to press OK to tell the printer to accept the different size, but when I do that I'm now getting the message. It worked before but not now. I'm using a HP Officejet 6310. "Ken" wrote: |
