Publisher Won't Import Graphics

Q105494
2.00 WINDOWS

--- The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Publisher version 2.0 ---

SYMPTOMS

=
When you try to import graphics into Microsoft Publisher 2.0, you may receive a message saying:

Can't Convert Pictures

Publisher doesn't recognize the format of the picture you want to  add. Publisher has graphics converters that allow it to recognize most pictures' formats. Some of these converters may be missing. Run the Setup program again and select Custom Installation to  install converters for word processors and graphics. Press F1 now if you want more information on running Setup.

This may occur even if the filters are reinstalled and other applications, such as Microsoft Word 2.0, can convert the same graphics.

RESOLUTION

=
Remove from the [MS Graphic Import Filters] section of the WIN.INI file any entries that are not standard Microsoft graphic import filters.

MORE INFORMATION

=
===

In the [MS Graphic Import Filters] section of WIN.INI, there may be an entry for a non-Microsoft filter for that type of graphic. If this entry precedes the regular Microsoft graphic filter entry for the same graphic type, Publisher will not be able to import that type of graphic.

For example, Hijaak Pro will install duplicate filters for many graphic types.
