= SUMMARY =

Works has no print selection command that prints only highlighted text. The following are four ways to print out specific fields in the Works Database:


 * 1) From the List view, Set the fields that are not going to be printed to a width of zero. Then print the Database. Close the file without saving, or do a File Save As and save the file under a different name. This will preserve the original file.
 * 2) Highlight the fields that should not be printed and do an Edit Clear. Then print the Database. Close the file without saving, or do a File Save As and save the file under a different name. This will preserve the original file.
 * 3) Create a new Database file and copy the desired fields into the new database. Then print the new database.
 * 4) Create a print merge using the desired field names as the placeholders in the form letter document.

The steps listed above are for printing specific fields, not specific records. For more information on records and fields, refer to Page 189 “Working with a Database” of the “Microsoft Works Reference” manual for version 2.00.
