= SYMPTOMS =

When you run Microsoft Works 4.0, under System 7.5, the computer stops responding (hangs) when choosing Object from the Insert menu.

= WORKAROUND =

OLE objects such as Microsoft WordArt can still be accessed using the following steps:


 * 1) Click the OLE object tool on the tool palette.
 * 2) From the list, choose the type of object you would like to insert.
 * 3) Move the mouse pointer over the top of your open document. The mouse pointer will change to a plus symbol.
 * 4) Click and drag the mouse to draw a box within the document. This opens the Object dialog box with the options to create the object.

= MORE INFORMATION =

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