Microsoft Works stop writing all of a sudden, if you go into the help, you can type a question, or you can insert characters or whatever, but when you try to write directly on the page it does not write, even on old and saved documents. Anyone know if is just a 'feature' or if it is a malfunction and the software needs to be re-installed

This is not a "feature" ...

I suggest that you delete all ~*.* files, *.tmp and run a scandisk and a defrag on your computer. Delete the Normal.dot file and then re-open MS Word and see if it works fine thereafter.

Do you have Anti-Virus software on this computer? You might also want to run a complete scan with it and see if it identifies anything as being infected with a virus.

Anna777 seems to think that the question is about Word, whereas it is about the somewhat more versatile Works. A good question would be whether Works has a file parallel to Word's Normal file; deleting such a file might be a good idea.
