SYMPTOMS
When you insert a Windows Metafile (WMF) picture into Microsoft Visio 2002, any text in the inserted metafile may unexpectedly be displayed with the letters overlapped.



CAUSE

-and-
 * The drawing is opened in Visio on Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me).



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, convert the WMF pictures to another format, such as Enhanced Metafile format, before you insert them into a Visio drawing.
