1. Q. Why are the columns I aligned with spaces not lining up correctly
      in my Works Word Processor document?
 
   A. If you use spaces to align your columns of text, they may not line
      up correctly when you print the document. Many fonts display
      slightly differently on the screen than they do when printed.
 
      If you are using a font with variable-width characters, you cannot
      use spaces to align the columns exactly because the characters
      are all different widths.
 
      If you are using fixed-width fonts, and if you use bold or italic
      formatting on any of the characters (including spaces), the
      document view screen does not accurately display what will be
      printed. This makes it very difficult to align the columns
      correctly by sight. The text appears to take up more room on the
      screen than it actually will when printed.
 
      To reliably align text in columns, set the tab stops in your
      document and press the TAB key to move between the columns.
 
2. Q. How do I create a header or footer in my Works Word Processor
      document?
 
   A. There are two different kinds of headers and footers you can use
      in the Works Word Processor. Header and Footer Paragraphs can
      contain one or more lines of text, and can include a drawing or
      other object. Standard Headers and Footers can only contain one
      line of text, and cannot contain graphics or other objects. For
      information about how to create Header and Footer Paragraphs,
      continue to question 3. For information about how to create
      Standard Headers and Footers, go to question 4.
 
3. Q. How do I create Header and Footer Paragraphs in my Works Word
      Processor document?
 
   A. To create Header and Footer Paragraphs, use the following
      three-step procedure:
 
      1. If you are using Works 3.0, make sure you are in Normal view,
         then choose Headers & Footers from the View menu. If you are
         using Works 2.0, choose Headers & Footers from the Edit menu.
 
      2. Select the Use Header & Footer Paragraphs check box and choose
         OK.
 
      3. Your document reappears, with the letters H and F in the upper-
         left corner of the first page. Whatever you type on a line that
         begins with an H becomes part of your header paragraph, and
         whatever you type on a line that begins with an F becomes part
         of your footer paragraph.
 
4. Q. How do I create Standard Headers and Footers in my Works Word
      Processor document?
 
   A. To create Standard Headers and Footers, use the following
      two-step procedure:
 
      1. If you are using Works 3.0, choose Headers & Footers from the
         View menu. If you are using Works 2.0, choose Headers & Footers
         from the Edit menu.
 
      2. In the dialog box that appears, enter the header or footer text
         you want and choose OK.
 
5. Q. How do I change the formatting of the header and footer in my
      Works for Windows Word Processor document?
 
   A. The procedures for changing the font and style of your header or
      footer depend on what kind of header or footer you are using.
 
      If you are using Header and Footer Paragraphs, you can format them
      just as you do regular text. To format the header or footer text,
      highlight it and select the font and style you want to use.
 
      Standard Headers and Footers adopt the same formatting as the very
      last paragraph in your document. To change their formatting, use
      the following three-step procedure:
 
      1. Place your cursor to the left of the last paragraph marker in
         your document.
 
      2. From the Format menu, choose Font & Style.
 
      3. Select the font, point size, and style you want, and choose OK.
 
6. Q. In my Works for Windows 3.0 document, how do I place my footnotes
      at the end of each page instead of at the end of the document?
 
   A. If you are using Works 3.0, you can choose to have footnotes
      printed either at the bottom of each page or at the end of the
      document. To specify where you want the footnotes printed, use
      the following three-step procedure:
 
      1. From the File menu, choose Page Setup.
 
      2. Choose Other Options.
 
      3. Select or clear the Print Footnotes At End Of Document
         check box, and choose OK.
 
7. Q. In my Works for Windows 2.0 document, how do I place my footnotes
      at the end of each page instead of at the end of the document?
 
   A. If you are using Works 2.0, the footnote option only allows you
      to create endnotes, printed at the end of the document.
 
      To create the effect of footnotes that print at the bottom of
      each page in Works 2.0, you must manually position your footnote
      text and footnote reference marks.
 
      To manually enter a footnote reference mark, use the following
      three-step procedure:
 
      1. Type the number of the footnote, then highlight it.
 
      2. From the Format menu, choose Font & Style.
 
      3. From the Position box, select Superscript, and choose OK.
