Hello,

I have a client who likes to merge a works database into word. I am told
that the process was once easy, but now whenever we select the works database
to merge, the text encoding window appears with a lot of non - text
characters.

Is there no works database filter/converter? I thought that there may have
been one working prior but now damaged or turned off.

Using Works DB to save-as to a csv mucks up the field headers. Any ideas?

Thank You

Word has never been able to merge Works databases, other than by the bug
laden Works add-in for Word (which was included with the Works suite - with
Word 2002). The only way to do this is to export the data from Works to a
Word compatible format such as dbf.
