Microsoft works spreadsheet

I try to use the spreadsheet and I need to choose a selection of cells and add a format/color, how can I do this at once?

If the cells are not next to each other that you can hold the CTRL key on your keyboard and select cells.  Then right of the mouse click on one of the selected cells, and then select the desired formatting. --

  • Microsoft works spreadsheet program

    Can you have multiple worksheets in a single document in the spreadsheet works just like you in excel?

    These tend to confirm the response as a resounding "no".

    «The Works Spreadsheet allows you to create a spreadsheet, use basic formulas and create and view graphs.» Sorting works as well as I can tell. Also in this case you did not change, macros, AutoShapes, WordArt, and other features to Microsoft Excel. A big difference compared to Excel is the spreadsheet Microsoft Works 9.0 allows only a Works spreadsheet. If you open a Microsoft Excel document with several worksheets, you'll get a dialog box asking you to choose which piece of work you want to load. Another difference is that in Excel, you can select several sections not connected to the document, but in a worksheet Microsoft Works 9.0, you can do that. The Microsoft Works 9.0 spreadsheet also allows only of 16 384 rows and 256 columns. I tried to open a number of sheets Excel spread to work and it did not work very well. First of all, I had to choose a worksheet. Then the Works spreadsheet cannot load many of the formulas and the names of symbol and in the end, I had nothing but nonsense. »

  • Microsoft Works word processor: error PRINTING

    Hello!

    I created a spreadsheet in Microsoft Works word processor supplied with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    The problem is that my spreadsheet does not print correctly.

    My spreadsheet is printing in the form of 2 pages (with 1/2 of the worksheet on each page), when instead, I want everything on one page.

    I don't understand why.

    I have even highlighted the range of cells that I want to print and attributed them to a specified print area.

    Hello

    It is a simple generic error message that you will always see when the programs or applications crash.

    Something was wrong, but I can't tell what's wrong with your MS works.
    If you want the event viewer for errors, but to be honest, you can check this will not help you much if you're not computer.

    I gogoled a little and some people brought on the same error in MS Word, but like I said above; This is a generic error message.

    However, the people have this problem than by the new installation of MS Works.
    I don't know if you received a MS Works Mr. disc if so, remove/uninstall the MS Works the system first, reboot the laptop and use the MS Works drive for new installation.

  • Scan to Microsoft Works

    When the scan on my Dell function no longer works, I bought a HP Deskjet 3070 e-all-in-one. This allowed me to analyze for the Microsoft Works word processor for editing documents.

    I can't find this option on the HP. I lost my money?

    Thank you

    Sam

    Hello MasAnne

    At this point, it seems the best thing to do would be to do a search with your preferred for the ROC "ocr software" free search engine stands for optical character recognition. OCR, is what allows to scan 'read' the words on the documents and put them into an editable document. There are both paid and free OCR software out there I suggest that you look at. FreeOCR is one of the applications that you can watch.

    Alternatively, you can upgrade to Microsoft Works suite. There are several versions of the works since then as well (Works 9.0 was released in 2008).

  • Insert the CD-ROM for Microsoft Works 9.0 for critical updates

    How to change when I am asked to insert the CD-ROM for Microsoft Works 9.0 for the updates to take place? Given the computer came with all the software already installed and there is no disk provided. I can guarantee for hardward problems no software issues. Really need help on this one to prevent threats to the computer.

    Hi Cj_jez,

    1 is Microsoft Works and you will prompt to install the update or you are trying to install it via Windows updates?

    As the message is asking you to insert the CD of Microsoft Works 9.0, you will need to insert the right disk to install the update. As the computer came with all already installed software, the best option would be to contact the manufacturer of the system that has installed all the software on the computer.

    In the meantime, try the following steps and check the result.
    Step 1: Manually install the update
    a. visit the link and look for update for Microsoft Works 9
    http://www.Microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx
    b. open the downloaded file and install it.
    c. once the update is installed, restart the computer and check the result.

    You can also get in touch with the support of Microsoft Works team to see if there are other options to install the update without using the disc:http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/support.mspx
