Word for Macintosh Files with Formulas Lose Formatting PSS ID Number: Q66101 Article last modified on 08-08-1993 PSS database name: APpsConV

1.00 1.10

WINDOWS

Summary:

Some formulas lose character formatting during conversion from Word for Windows to Word for the Macintosh when you use CONV-MCW.DLL. In the converted document, only the first formula of each set retains the proper font-size formatting. The second and third formulas of each group appear to be formatted for the default-font point size.

This is a problem in the Word for Windows RTF writer. If you load a file and save it as RTF, only the first formula receives any specific font sizing. The other two formulas of each group receive the default-font size.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions 1.00 and 1.10. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
