================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 3.0 and 4.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

PowerPoint is not able to import some large Windows metafiles using its built-in graphics filter. Windows metafiles (.WMF) smaller than 100K will import correctly, but .WMF files larger than 100K may not import. CORELDraw! version 4.0 metafiles larger than 300K don’t import, either

= RESOLUTION =

To get the Windows Metafile into PowerPoint, you can import them into another Windows-based application such as Microsoft Word, and then cut and paste them into PowerPoint.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Only metafiles created by some applications cause this problem. In general, there is no limitation on the size of Windows Metafiles that can be imported by PowerPoint.
