Ray, as you say, some learning ahead! - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray's Home" <rays-home@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2008 5:08 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: MSWorks | Andy, I'd suspect that if, as I'm pretty sure, you are a JFW user, | then a lot's going to depend on whether their are scripts for Works | 2007, or whatever its called. | | The Word processor is I'm quite sure a cut down version of MS Word,. | The Spreadsheet certainly in earlier versions of Works was quite | powerful, and again probably a cut down Excel. the database is really | a customised spreadsheet, and is a flat file database. | | I found Works 2k - yes, going back a long way - good for out of class | practice with spreadsheet modules. | | I think whatever you decide to do with regard to MS Office type apps, | its going to be something of a steep learning curve to master the new | ribbon interface. Only glad I don't have to work with these programs | as yet. | | Cheers, | | From Ray | I can be contacted off-list at: | mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx | | | -----Original Message----- | Jackie Cairns | Subject: [access-uk] Re: MSWorks | | | Hi Andy | | Mine came with a 30-day trial of Office 2007, but I removed it without | launching it. I already have Microsoft Office Professional 2003, and | I | wasn't going to buy another copy just because it is later. | | Microsoft Works 8 is also there, but it wasn't a trial, so I left it | and | haven't even been in there to look at it as Office 2003 does what I | want. | | Incidentally, I had no problems installing MS Office Professional 2003 | because I didn't launch 2007 first. Had I done that, it might have | caused | problems to go back. | | Jackie | | Email: cairnsplace@xxxxxxx | Skype Name: Cairnsplace | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2008 4:12 PM | Subject: [access-uk] MSWorks | | | > Hi all - | > | > I'm looking at a laptop that comes with a 60 day trial version of: | > | > Microsoft® Works & Microsoft® Office Home and Student 2007 | > | > Is this good software [particularly the word processor and spread | sheet | > software] and are there any issues with JFW and this software? | > | > Thanks - | > | > Andy | | ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- | ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] | ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: | ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | ** and in the Subject line type | ** unsubscribe | ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the | ** immediately-following link:- | ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] | ** or send a message, to | ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq | | | -- | This email has been verified as Virus free. | Virus Protection and more available at http://www.plus.net ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
