When you save a Microsoft Word document in one of the following formats


 * Word Perfect 5.0 (*.doc)
 * Word Perfect 5.1 for DOS (*.doc)

and the document contains a Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) or Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) image, if you reopen the file in Word or open it in WordPerfect, the image is turned upside down and mirrored.
