=========================================================

= SYMPTOMS =

When you try to edit an embedded spreadsheet in a word processing document, Works quits or stops responding (hangs).

This occurs if a story frame or a text box has been inserted in that embedded object.

= STATUS =

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

= RESOLUTION =

An embedded spreadsheet object is not designed to support the story frame or text box features. When these features are inserted in the object, Works quits.

To avoid this problem, do not use the story frame or the text box features in an embedded spreadsheet object.
