SYMPTOMS
In Word 5.0 for the Macintosh, if you save a document in Word 2.x for Windows format and that document contains a graphic that itself contains a string of text rotated with the Rotation tool in the Picture window, the rotated text appears if the graphic is double-clicked and opened in Microsoft Draw in Word for Windows. However, the rotated text also appears to be overlapped by a horizontal (nonrotated) duplicate of the same text string.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 5.0 for the Macintosh. This problem was corrected in Word 5.1 for the Macintosh.
