The problem's with ROMFS. It doesn't implement OSFILE 5, used to
find a file's information. So, when Interword does
OSFILE 5,"-ROM-A4LETTER" whatever garbage is in the control block
is interpreted by Interword as the file's length, so gives "File
too long".

Arguable, the bug is in InterWord. It should notice that the OSFILE
5 call hasn't returned A=1, and give a more sensible error, such as
"File not found".
