and the file fails to load.

SolidWorks 2014 does not appear to support annotations in STEP data.

2014 SOLIDWORKS Help - Step Files (*.step)

In the instructions listed above, Creo was configured to use AP203 E2 (edition 2).  This version of the standard does include annotations.  My guess is that SolidWorks does not support the E2 version of AP203 and therefore sees the file format as invalid.  The other option is that something is going on with the model units.  Take a look at this page for more info about that idea.

Also see STEP AP203 and AP214 Protocols for more info about the STEP standards.
