SUMMARY
When you try to open a Works for MS-DOS 3.0 file with an embedded picture in Works for Windows, you receive one of the following errors messages.

Works 4.0, 4.5, and 4.5a
Cannot access the document \. The document may already be open or it may be a read-only document.

Works 3.0
Cannot find file or file already open: \.

Opening a File From a Floppy Disk
If you try opening a file from a floppy disk you may receive the following error message:

Cannot access file: insert the disk containing \.

The document opens, but the graphic is not in the file.



MORE INFORMATION
When you insert a picture in a Works for MS-DOS file, the picture is linked to the file rather than embedded. Works for Windows will open the file without errors if the picture is in the same folder on your computer as when you inserted it into the Works for MS-DOS file. When you open the file, the placeholder for the graphic appears. When you double-click the placeholder, the graphic appears.
