= SUMMARY =

Page 285 of the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 4.0 manual incorrectly states that when using PostScript code groups that begin with the .pic. command, each .pic. group will apply to the corresponding graphic in the paragraph.

Instead, Word applies all of the .pic. code to the first graphic in the paragraph and ignores the remainder of the graphics.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 4.00. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Word versions 3.x correctly apply each code group to a different graphic.

The Microsoft Press book “Working With Word, Second Edition,” by Chris Kinata and Gordon McComb gives more detailed information and examples of using PostScript code in Word. This information is on pages 659-684.

For more information about using PostScript with Word, see pages 284 to 288 of the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 4.0 manual.
