ReMark Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'd junk "Works" and download OpenOffice. It's FREE. To learn more about OpenOffice see this...http://www.openoffice.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 You Could also try LibreOffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingx9999 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Tried the open office but couldn't link document as ole. Message was not in registry. Could save as PDF and then drop it in...rather inconvenient but it works, Any further suggestions would be appreciated. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Can you attach a copy of the Work's file you are currently work with to your next post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 What steps are you taking to insert OLE? As ReMark asked, can you post the Works file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingx9999 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hi, I have tried dragging the file, INSERTOBJ, insert OLE using the menu and choosing the file and checking link, and creating a new OLE by choosing open office app that is in the drop down menu. All without success. When I drag it in it seem to go fine but I get the circle for a minute then nothing. When I INSERTOBJ I only get about 1/2 of the first page. If I try to create a new OLE message is (FAILED TO CREATE OBJECT. MAKE SURE THE OBJECT IS ENTERED IN THE SYSTEM REGISTRY) Downloaded the open office from openoffice.org Any suggestions would be appreciated.

ReMark Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Change the file extension to TXT and see if you can upload it then. What is the normal file extension? Nevermind...it must be WPS right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
