Q: The Time program isn’t running - does that mean alarms won’t go off?
The Time program does not have to be running for normal alarm and clock operations.
Q: What does a flashing red light mean on the outside of the case?
The light flashes when the alarm goes off. If you hit SNOOZE, then the light continues to flash
until you finally turn off the alarm.
Q: I set an alarm with an associated sound but it goes off silently and displays "Alarm
sound is off".
There is an option with Time to turn off alarm sounds only. This can be confusing because
’testing’ the alarm makes it sound off but the when the alarm goes off at its set time, it is silent.
To fix this, choose the ’Sound’ option from the ’Tools’ menu of Time. Change the ’Alarm sound’
from ’Off’ to ’On’.
Q: Can I use templates in Word
Yes.
Q: How do I produce the EURO Symbol?
The EURO Symbol is a special character and therefore can be produced by pressing
SHIFT+CTRL+C and selecting the symbol.
Q: How can I create a table in Word?
Insert a spreadsheet object and you can get most of the effects tables are used for.
Q: How can I get an overview of which styles I’ve used in which paragraphs?
Menu | Paragraph | Style gallery
This shows all the paragraph styles in the document.
The MC 218 does not create a new style every time you change the paragraph settings for the
current paragraph.
Q: Footnotes
Footnotes are not available in MC 218’s Word Processor.
Q: Can I change my default template for Word files?
Yes. Make the necessary changes to a Word file and move it to Then choose "Menu | More | Save
as template..." and give it the name "Normal".
Q: There is no Thesaurus button in Word.
The thesaurus cannot be accessed from within Word.
Q: Is there a quick way to append country codes to an entry in my database?
No.
Q: How do I display all data records again after doing a find?
Press Esc
Q: Can I change the length of my fields in the data application after I’ve defined them?
No. You can change field order though. There are options in both the card and the list view to
move things around onscreen. Doing a ’save as’ should write these to disk in a new file.
Q: I have a Data file that won’t let me add or edit entries...
If the ’Add entry’ and ’Edit entry’ options are greyed-out it indicates that the file is read-only ie
the user has set this. Close the file and select ’Properties...’ from the ’File’ menu of the system
screen. Remove the tick from the ’Read-only’ box. The file will now behave normally.
Q: I don’t like the default labels. Is there a way of creating my own default labels for new
databases?
