Windows Write Converter Enhancements in Word 6.0a for Windows |
Q110677
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0a
SUMMARY
Included below is a summary of corrections made to the WRITWIN.CNV
converter used by Word 6.0a to convert documents between Word and
Windows Write versions 3.0 and 3.1. All corrections listed here have been
made since the immediately previous Word 6.0 product release. Corrected
problems include:
Paragraph Numbering Appears as Greek Symbols in Windows Write
When you save a Word 6.0 document as Windows Write format, in paragraphs
originally numbered using the lowercase alpha paragraph numbering option in
Word [for example, a), b), c)], all numbering characters appear as Greek
language characters in Write. This occurs because the Symbol font is
incorrectly applied.
This problem was corrected in Word 6.0a.
Embedded Objects Do Not Appear in Word
When you open a Windows Write 3.1 document containing an embedded object
without a windows metafile display image into Word 6.0, no result may
appear in Word. To update the object, you must choose to view field codes
and then select the appropriate OLE Server application from the Edit Object
dialog box.
This problem was corrected in Word 6.0a. An adjustment has been made to the
converter to place an empty windows metafile placeholder in the converted
document so that you can easily select and double-click to update.
GP Fault in Round-Trip Conversion from Write and Back to Word
When you save a Word 6.0 document as Windows Write format and then reopen
the document into Word, you may receive a general protection (GP) fault.
This problem was corrected in Word 6.0a.
