The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 4.0a, and 4.0b
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
On page 205, of the "Microsoft Works User's Guide" for version 4.0, if you
follow the instructions to print one selected record, you may not receive
the results you expect; instead, record 1 will always print. For
example, if you select record 25, record 1 will print instead.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To print the selected record, do the following:
 
1. From list view in your Works database document, choose Mark Records For
   Printing from the Tools menu.
 
2. Locate the record you want to print and click once on the gray bar to
   the left of the record.
 
   A check mark should appear on the gray bar to indicate that the record
   is marked.
 
3. From the File menu, choose Open to open the Word Processing document
   that you want to print.
 
4. From the File menu, choose Print.
 
5. Make sure there is a check mark in the Print Merged Fields check box.
 
6. Select (put a check in) the Print Marked Records box.
 
7. To Preview the merged documents, select the Print Preview check box.
 
8. Click the Print button.
 
STATUS
======
 
This problem was corrected in Works version 4.0b.
