    I hava a Sony VGN FE890, running Vista. When I try to print anything out of Microsoft Work 8 it will not print out. I get a window that reads Mirosoft Work 8 is not working. I've been trying to print this particular spreadsheet out with no luck.
    My printer will print anything but not the spreadsheet or anything related to Microsoft Work 8. The only thing that I have downloaded is the 2007 Office Professional, does that have any conflicts with Microsoft Work 8? Microsoft Work 8 came with the computer, so I have no way of trying reload it. Any suggesting would greatly be appreciated!

    Did you try opening up the spreadsheet via 2007's excel and then resave it under a different name, open it and see if it print.

    Use OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Works. It's fully compatible with all Microsoft's formats (can read, edit, and save to them) and best of all it's FREE!

    Try that out and let us know what happens.

    Microsoft Works is pretty good.

    Its a cheap alternative to Office and works well.

    Open Office has its issues, its not the best.

    For example I haven't figured out how to disable automatic numbering and bullets as well and automatic indentations.
