Too Many Rows (MS WORKS)

When I copy 6 or 7 rows of data and attempt to paste it into a Works spreadsheet I get this error message.
"There are too many rows. Works does not allow more than 16,384 rows." It will only put in about 4 rows of data.
How can I get rid of the error message?

With 152 views and no one knows the answer? It's hard to believe.

I think Callender is on track.

Perhaps your spread sheet has the max number of rows as a default thus you cannot add more. You couldm try going own to the last row you hav in use, drop down a dozen rows then select all rows down to the en d and delete the rows (not just the empty content of the rows).

You should then be able to paste in new rows, not just the contents of the rows.

Thanks. That sounds good.

Unfortunately I cannot help you. I was only amazed that somebody is still using Works. I wish you lots of luck in resolving the problem.

Works came on my Windows 7 PC. It "works" for me.

Well I haven't used MS Works in a long time but I can take a guess.

When you've selected multiple rows to be copied right click a place in the margin where you want to start pasting and then paste.

That's the way most spreadsheet software works anyway!

You can't Paste in 1, only A1.
