MS-DOS

Summary:

In Works Version 2.00, the Text option in the “File Save As” dialog box saves your document as an ASCII file with a carriage return and linefeed at the end of each paragraph, not at the end of each line. Spreadsheets and databases are saved in comma-delimited form, with formulas and functions converted to their current values.

The Printed Text option (Plain option in Works Versions 1.00 and 1.05) saves your file with carriage returns and linefeeds after each line. This includes each wordwrap line break, end-of-line mark, and paragraph mark. Left and right margins and tab stops are converted to spaces. Top and bottom margins are converted to blank lines.

For more information, see Page 126 of the Version 1.05 “Microsoft Works Reference,” or Page 344 of the Version 2.00 “Microsoft Works Reference.”
