SYMPTOMS
If you insert a DRW, CGM, or DXF graphic into a Microsoft Word 97 document running on the Alpha platform, the graphic may be inserted as a blank bounding box (an empty frame), or it may not be inserted at all.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
When you insert a Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) graphic, the graphic will fail to preview, and when inserted, will be a blank bounding box.

When you insert a Micrografx Designer Draw or Windows Draw (DRW) graphic, only part of the graphic may be inserted or when inserted, will be a blank bounding box.

When you insert a AutoCAD Format 2-D (DXF) graphic, the graphic will act as if it will be inserted, but nothing is inserted into the document.
