Two Boxes Added to End of Style Name (WinWord 6.0 to 2.0) |
Q115408
You may see two extra characters--two boxes--added to the end of a style
name when you copy text from Word 6.0 for Windows to the Windows Clipboard
and paste it in Word 2.x for Windows.
Even though the style name has these two extra characters added to it, the
style should still function properly, with all style formatting being
applied to selected text.
If the RTF for a style name has carriage return and line feed (CRLF) characters after it, Word 2.0 includes the CRLF characters at the end of the style name. The CRLF characters appear in Word 2.0 as boxes at the end of the style name.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
Save the file in Word 6.0 and open it in Word 2.0 rather than copying and pasting it. Word 2.0 can read Word-6.0-formatted files if the Word 6.0 converter (for Word 2.0) has been installed. Word 6.0 can also save in Word 2.0 format.
