Summary:

When you attempt to insert a graphic into Word for Windows that was originally exported from Harvard Graphics (through version 2.3) in HPGL format with the Standard Picture Quality option, the error message

Error! Cannot read or display file

may be displayed if the graphics image contains text. This problem does not occur when importing HPGL graphics containing text from Harvard Graphics version 3.0.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
