# PUB2: Extended Characters from DOS Works Import Incorrectly

## Q109214

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    The information in this article applies to:

     - Microsoft Publisher version 2.0
     - Microsoft Works for MS-DOS, version 2.0
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    SYMPTOMS
    ========

    If you import documents created in Microsoft Works version 2.0 for MS-DOS
    into Microsoft Publisher version 2.0, the extended characters will not
    import correctly.

    RESOLUTION
    ==========

    To resolve this issue, save the file from Microsoft Works for MS-DOS as a
    plain text document, then import the file into Publisher using the Plain
    Text (DOS) text filter.

    Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Publisher version 2.0. We
    are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
    Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
