When trying to insert a WPG graphic from Word Perfect version 6.0 for Windows, an error message may appear saying that the graphic file format is not recognized by Publisher, even if the WPG graphic filter is installed.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Publisher versions 2.0 and 2.0a. This problem was corrected in Publisher version 3.0 for Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION

The WPG format from Word Perfect 5.x changed in 6.0, and the WPG filter that ships with Publisher cannot read this format. The only solution is to open the WPG graphic in Word Perfect, copy it, and paste it into Publisher.
