I thought Works went the way of the Dodo..or at least the way of GWBush..it was of no use anymore! I'm reasonably sure that your problem is outdated software..so your choices would be to either buy a copy of Windows Office 2007 or the free way with Open Office.Org..(their latest is 3.xx).The latter is your best bet IMHO..and it is totally compatible with MS Office/Word etc.
