Works 2.00: Selecting an Entire Database or Spreadsheet

PSS ID Number: Q60188 Article last modified on 06-12-1996

2.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Use the Select All command (ALT S A) or CTRL+SHIFT+F8 in the Works Database or Spreadsheet to highlight the maximum possible area of a database (4096 records) or spreadsheet (4096 rows x 256 columns).

Note: Select All highlights only through the end mark of a Works word processor document.

When copying the contents of one database or spreadsheet into a second file, Works overwrites the data in the second file because a maximum-sized file uses all available space in the second file.

To successfully combine two database or spreadsheet files, you must use the F8 (extend) key in conjunction with the cursor keys to highlight ONLY the text to be copied.

For further information see the “Works Reference” for Version 2.00 manual, Pages 89, 90, 141, and 230-231.
