This article was previously published under Q111659

SUMMARY

There is no option to disable the Startup dialog box. This is by design in Works for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

For more information about using the Save Workspace feature, refer to page 43 of your "Microsoft Works for Windows User's Guide" for version 3.0.

In Works 4.0, 4.5, or 4.5a, on the Help menu, click Index and search on "workspace."

WORKAROUND

Use the Save Workspace feature, which allows you to open any document automatically and bypass the Startup screen. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new spreadsheet document.
  2. Save the file and then minimize the spreadsheet.
  3. From the File menu, click Save Workspace.
