The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Works for Windows 95, version 4.0

This article was previously published under Q239175

SYMPTOMS

If you insert a Microsoft Works spreadsheet into another program (such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft WordPad), create or edit data in a cell in the spreadsheet, and then press CTRL+N to open a new document in the other program, you receive the following error message:
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
When you click OK, you receive an error message similar to the following
filename caused an invalid page fault in module Worksss.exe.
where filename is the name of the program file of the other program.

NOTE: If you continue to use the Word or WordPad document, Word or WordPad stops responding, and you lose all data that you have typed or entered into the document since you last saved the document.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because keyboard shortcuts that are used to open new documents do not work properly with embedded objects.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, click New on the File menu to open a new document in the other program.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Works, version 4.0 for Windows 95.
