SYMPTOMS
Opening large Word 2.0 and 6.0 for Windows documents in Works 3.0 for Windows may produce one of the following error messages:

Cannot open file

-or-

Not enough memory to complete operation.

Word cannot open the document.



CAUSE
This usually occurs with large documents (greater than 2 MB) that contain a large number of color bitmap graphics. This limitation appears to be caused by the converter.



RESOLUTION

 * 1) In Word, divide the document and save it as two separate files.
 * 2) Open both documents in Works and save as Works 3.0 documents.
 * 3) Combine them into one document, and save this as a Works 3.0 for Windows 3.0.



MORE INFORMATION
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Works version 4.0, 4.5 and 4.5a for Windows 95.
