MORE INFORMATION
The Word for Windows 2.0 computer graphics metafile (CGM) graphics import filter currently makes no attempt to perform any mapping of the characters within a CGM graphic to ANSI equivalents. This is because most popular third-party products that generate CGM files do not currently follow a set pattern, and the CGM specification itself is unclear as to the native character set that should be used to display text strings.
