Unrecoverable Application Error Importing Large .DRW File PSS ID Number: Q64460 Article last modified on 09-25-1991 PSS database name: W_PowerPt

WINDOWS

Summary:

When using the Paste From command in Microsoft PowerPoint to import a file from Micrografx Designer (.DRW file extension), you may get an Unrecoverable Application Error (UAE) if the document is formatted as a multipage or large image. Keeping multiple pictures on a large “paginated” surface is less difficult in Designer.

The workaround is to save the pages as individual files and then import them separately into Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint for Windows version 2.00. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
