Summary:

Page 52 of the version 2.0 “Using Microsoft Works” manual incorrectly states that selecting the Save Selected Records Only option after using the Match Records option saves only those records showing.

In the Database module of Works, when you use the Match Records option and choose Save As from the File menu and select the Save Selected Records Only check box, Works saves the entire database, not just the selected records.

However, when you use the Record Selection option and then save a file with the Save Selected Records Only check box selected, only the selected records will be saved.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. This problem was corrected in Works version 3.0.
