WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

When a Word version 5.0, 5.5, or 6.0 for MS-DOS document containing links to PCX graphic files is opened into Word 6.0 for Windows under Windows 3.x or Windows for Workgroups 3.x, the PCX images in the Word for MS-DOS file may appear distorted.

= CAUSE =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the PCX graphic import filter supplied with Word versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

= WORKAROUND =

Following conversion, click Select All on the Edit menu, and press F9 to update fields. Word reinserts each PCX image from the original graphic file on disk, and the images are displayed correctly.
