2.00 WINDOWS kbinterop

SUMMARY
When converting a WordPerfect version 5.0 or 5.1 document containing one or more graphics images to Word for Windows 2.0, a status dialog box will be displayed for each graphic encountered as the converter interprets the WordPerfect document file. Each time the status dialog box appears, it normally displays the percentage completed for the processing of the current graphic. The counter should increment from 0 to 100%, then restart at zero after each graphic is processed.

However, in most cases, the counter will not reset if the WordPerfect document contains more than one graphic. As a result, the indicator may continue to increase past 100% as more graphic images are processed (for example, to 2500%).

MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the Word for Windows 2.0 WPGIMP.FLT WordPerfect graphics (WPG) import filter. The WordPerfect text converter, WPFT5.CNV, cooperates with this graphics filter when converting WordPerfect documents containing graphics. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

Note: Although a recognized problem in the WPG graphics import filter, this incorrect status indication has absolutely no adverse effect on the outcome of converting the WordPerfect file.
