SYMPTOMS
In Works for Windows 2.0x, you receive an error message when you try to open Works 3.0x templates saved as Works 2.0x documents. For example, the following error message may be displayed:

"Microsoft Works: Display Error

Not enough memory: colors and patterns may be incorrect."

Works 2.0x opens the document, but some formatting, such as Thick Line Borders, is lost. Other formatting common to both versions, such as most numeric formatting, is retained.



CAUSE
The templates might contain formulas, borders, or patterns that are not available in Works 2.0x.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works for Windows version 2.0x. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
