APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Works Suite 2000

This article was previously published under Q239352



SYMPTOMS
When you create a brochure with Microsoft Works 2000 Word Processor using a Works Brochure template, and you then upgrade to Works Suite 2000 and open the brochure in Word 2000, number signs (#) appear at the beginning of the brochure.



CAUSE
Works Word Processor and Microsoft Word do not use the same field names at all times. When Word opens a document that contains a field name that it does not recognize, it generates a number sign as a placeholder for the unrecognized field name.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Works Suite 2000.



MORE INFORMATION
To work around this problem, select and delete the unwanted number signs.
