MS-DOS

SUMMARY

If Microsoft Word version 5.0 gives the following error message:

Cannot link to graphics file. Word unable to process information in file.

when a linked TIFF (Tagged Image File Format, developed by Microsoft and Aldus) graphics file is viewed with the Print Preview command, the TIFF file specified in the Library Link Graphics “filename:” field is not a TIFF file format that Word supports.

Word supports TIFF-B black-and-white compressed and uncompressed files and TIFF-G gray scale uncompressed files.
