MACINTOSH

================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, versions 4.0 and 4.0a == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you convert a Microsoft Works version 2.0 or 3.0 word processing document to Microsoft Works version 4.0, a single paragraph or sentence may appear on separate pages creating a very large multiple page document.

This problem occurs when the original document contains one or more custom (or manual) page breaks. After the document is converted or opened in 4.0, every paragraph or line after the manual page break creates a new page.

= RESOLUTION =

Upgrade to Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, version 4.0b by calling Microsoft Technical Support at 425-635-7160.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To work around this problem:


 * 1) Open the file in Works 4.0.
 * 2) Move the cursor to the upper-left corner of your document, and press the RETURN key three times.
 * 3) Move the cursor back to the first line in the document.
 * 4) While holding the SHIFT key, press the DOWN ARROW key on your keyboard twice.
 * 5) From the Format menu, choose Copy Paragraph Formats.
 * 6) From the Edit menu, choose Select All.
 * 7) From the Format menu, choose Paste Paragraph Formats.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works version 4.0 and 4.0a. This problem was corrected in Works version 4.0b.
