SYMPTOMS
When you create a new document based on the Proposal.dot template, you may
receive the following error message:
WordBasic Err=24 "Bad Parameter"
CAUSE
The Proposal.dot template that shipped with Microsoft Word version 2.0 was
not designed to work with Microsoft Word version 7.0.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft modified the popular templates from Microsoft Word 2.x to
function correctly in Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0. You can use these
modified templates in Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0, also. All
the modified Word 2.x templates function correctly in Word 7.0, except for
the Proposal.dot template. When you try to use the Proposal.dot template,
you may or may not receive the "Proposal Information" dialog box, but the
error message, "WordBasic Err=24 Bad Parameter" is consistent with this
type of error.
