================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, version 4.0 == 

= SUMMARY =

The following information about limitations of the Micrografx .DRW filter is from the PowerPoint 4.0 Readme Help file.

= README HELP =

Micrografx Designer/Draw (.DRW)

This graphics filter supports Micrografx Designer version 3.x, Charisma 2.1, and Draw DRW files. By default, the DRW filter imports only the entire first page of a file as it would appear in Micrografx Designer, because DRW files don’t contain information on the size of the image. Once the image is imported, the bounding box may be cropped to make it tightly fit the size of the image.

Limitations ———–


 * Text arrays are not supported.
 * Some Micrografx Designer 3.x fonts are not supported with this version of the DRW filter.
 * Clip paths, which require clipping regions, aren’t supported in GDI metafiles.
 * Tiled paths, which permit object-oriented fills to be put behind clip paths, aren’t supported.
