If you choose any paint selection tools, except the lasso or the color picker, Works stops responding (hangs).

Do not format the object created by Equation Editor as In-Line text until you’ve completed your paint tool tasks.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works versions 4.0, 4.0a, and 4.0b for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
