The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If your Macintosh monitor is set to Thousands or Millions of colors, you may not be able to open some files in Works. You may receive an error message indicating that there is insufficient memory to open the file.

This problem occurs with files that contain large gradient-filled objects that were created when using a monitor set to 256 colors. Works may have insufficient memory to display the gradient-filled object in thousands or millions of colors.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, reduce the bit depth to 256 colors in the Monitors control panel. You should now be able to open the file.
