= SUMMARY =

To export a Microsoft Works Word Processor document that contains graphics created in the draw layer to Microsoft Word or Microsoft Write, the Works document must first be saved in Rich Text Format (RTF).

If the file is saved in the normal format, Word or Write opens the file as text only and does not read the graphics.

To save a Works Word Processor document in RTF, do the following:


 * 1) From the File menu, choose Save As.
 * 2) Click the Export button.
 * 3) Select the Export As Rich Text Format option.
 * 4) Click Save.

Open the file in Word or Write and click Yes when asked to interpret RTF text.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Because of the difference in the way Works, Word, and Write work with graphics, graphics in the RTF file are placed in separate paragraphs during this conversion.

NOTE: In Works versions 3.0 and 4.0 for the Macintosh, saving a Word Processor file with graphics in RTF format does not render the same results in Word. The graphics are removed from the document when it is saved in RTF from Works 3.0 or 4.0.
