Publisher 2.0 Does Not Recognize WordPerfect 6.0 WPG Graphics

Q108585

-------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Publisher for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a
-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

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.
