3. Q. How do I delete files in Works 3.0?
A. Works for Windows 3.0 includes a File Organizer Wizard that you can use to delete files.
To run the File Organizer Wizard, use the following eight-step procedure:
1. From the File menu, choose WorksWizards.
2. From the Choose A WorksWizard list, select File Organizer.
3. Choose OK.
4. Enter the filename (or as much of the name as you remember) in the appropriate box.
5. If known, select the drive on which the file resides.
6. If known, select the date when the file was last saved.
7. Select Start Search.
8. Highlight the desired file on the list and choose Delete. Then confirm by choosing Yes.
4. Q. How do I delete the document names listed at the bottom of the File menu?
A. The File menu in Works displays a list of the four most recently opened files. You can manually delete this list by
editing the MSWORKS3.INI file. This file is located in the Windows directory.
This .INI file includes a section named [Recent File List] that contains the names of the four most recently accessed files.
You can delete this section so that those particular filenames no longer appear at the end of the File menu. However,
Works will re-create this section the next time you start the program. There is no way to permanently disable the display
of the most recently used files.
Entries in this section will look as follows:
[Recent File List]
File1=B:\ADAM.WPS
File2=B:\BETH.WPS
File3=C:\MSWORKS\HARDWARE.WDB
File4=C:\MSWORKS\ACCOUNTS.WDB
You can use Notepad or any other text editor to edit the MSWORKS3.INI files.
5. Q. Why do I get the error message "Cannot Find File or File Already Open" when I try to start Works?
A. The error message "Cannot Find File Or File Already Open" occurs because Works is trying to open a saved
workspace, but a file that was part of it has been deleted.
To resolve this problem, you can either disable the workspace, or create a new workspace.
6. Q. How do I disable the workspace in Works 3.0?
A. To disable the workspace in Works 3.0, use the following two-step procedure:
1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.
2. In the When Starting Works area, clear the Use Saved Workspace check box, and choose OK.
7. Q. How do I create a new workspace in Works 3.0?
A. To create a new workspace in either Works 3.0, use the following two-step procedure:
1. Open the files that you want to include in a new workspace.
2. From the File menu, choose Save Workspace.
8. Q. Every time I create a new document, I want it to follow a specific style. How do I do this?
A. To make your new documents automatically adopt a particular style, create a template and set it as the default. In
Works 3.0, you can have multiple templates for each module, and choose which one you want to set as the default.
9. Q. How do I create a template?
A. To create a template, use the following four-step procedure:
1. In the Works module for which you want to create a template, create a new document.
2. Add any text, graphics, or formatting (fonts, margins, and so on) that you want the template to have.
3. From the File menu, choose Save As.
4. If you are using Works 3.0, choose the Template button, enter a unique filename for the template, and choose OK.
NOTE: In Works 3.0, when you save a newly created template, it is automatically added to the list in the Custom group of
templates.
10. Q. How do I set a template as the default in Works 3.0?
A. To set a template as the default in Works 3.0, use the following four-step procedure:
1. From the File menu, choose Templates.
2. Select a template group and category (choose Custom for both if you want to use a template you have created).
3. Select the name of the template you want to set as the default.
4. Select the Use This Template For All <Module Name> Documents check box, where <Module Name> is the module
name, and choose OK.
Works will use the specified template for all new documents in that module, until you reset the default again.
NOTE: Works 3.0 templates are saved in the WKSTMPL subdirectory. Word Processor templates have a PS filename extension, Spreadsheet templates have a KS filename extension, and Database templates have a DB filename extension.
11. Q. When I select a new font for my document, why doesn it show on the screen or print?
A. To change the font in a document, you must highlight the text first. To quickly highlight all the text in your document, do
the following:
- In Works 3.0, choose Select All from the Edit menu.
12. Q. Why don't I have all of my fonts or any of my fonts in my font list?
A. In Works 3.0, the font limit is 510 fonts. If you try to install more than 510 fonts, Works 3.0 will produce an error
message when you start Works, indicating that more than 510 fonts are installed on the system. Fonts will be available,
but Works 3.0 will truncate the list to include only 510 fonts.
