The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 4.0a, and 4.0b == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you attempt to insert an object from the Insert menu, you may receive the following error message:

Cannot Insert Object. Possibly you are out of memory, or the registration for the source application is not correct. Try choosing other applications. If that does not work, try reinstalling the source application.

= RESOLUTION =

This error occurs if you attempt to insert a Works document (such as a word processor, database, or spreadsheet document). Select a document that was not created in Works for the Macintosh (such as a Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel document) to insert as an object.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Works for the Macintosh is not an OLE server. Documents created in Works are not designed to be inserted into each other. The same error message appears if you try to insert a Works 2.0 or 3.0 document.
