= SUMMARY =

In the Microsoft Works Word Processor module, filenames greater than 26 characters will generate the following error message: “Can’t save skipped words because of System error:14.” Saving the file with a name equal to or less than 26 characters allows Works to save skipped words.

The maximum length for a filename on the Macintosh is 31 characters. However, Works creates a new file containing the skipped words by adding “.dict” to the Word Processor filename. This makes the filename containing the skipped words five characters longer than the original document name. If the document filename is more than 26 characters, adding “.dict” to the filename exceeds the 31-character limit and a System error is returned.
