- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you double-click an EPS picture in a Word document, you do not get a
warning message indicating the picture contains embedded PostScript information.
If you convert the picture to a Drawing Object, you lose the PostScript
information in the file and the picture will not print to a PostScript printer.
This problem occurs when you attempt to edit an EPS image stored in a document
converted from Word 6.x or 7.x. This problem does not occur when you insert the
image into a Word 97 document and then attempt to edit the image.
CAUSE
=====
The Word 97 EPS graphics filter is not analyzing the embedded image to determine
whether it contains embedded PostScript information.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, insert or reinsert the PostScript image in the
document after you convert it to Word 97.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
This problem has been corrected in Word 2000.
