= SYMPTOMS =

Microsoft Works 4.0 for the Macintosh stops responding if all of the following are true:


 * Information is copied from either the Spreadsheet or the Database.
 * An in-line object has been created and is selected in the Word Processor.
 * The Paste command is executed from the Edit menu or the keyboard.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To create an in-line object:


 * 1) Open a Word Processor file and choose a drawing tool.
 * 2) Make an object, a rectangle for example.
 * 3) Click the object once, and choose In Line With Text from the Format menu.

= RESOLUTION =

Copy the information from either the Spreadsheet or the Database and paste the information into a Word Processor document. Copy the information from the Word Processor document and then paste it on top of the in-line object.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works version 4.0 for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
