WINDOWS

Summary:

It has been reported that when pasting from Micrografx Designer into Word for Windows, you may experience an Unrecoverable Application Error (UAE). You may also receive this error message when inserting files from Micrografx Designer. This will most commonly occur when attempting to paste or insert from Designer PIC format. The version of PIC that Micrografx Designer exports is known as “level 2 PIC.” This is not the same as the “level 1 PIC” format of Micrografx Windows Draw! and InaVision, which Word for Windows is designed to support.

The following information is taken from the “Micrografx Designer Reference Guide” for version 3.01:

WMF files (Windows metafiles) may not always import or export properly with Designer 3.01. Similarly, some drawings from Designer may not paste properly into other Windows programs. Use another import or export format (if one is available) until the difficulty is corrected.
