BUG: Wd2007 Saving as web page with drawings- Horrible pixelation
When saving as Web Page (either Filtered or not- see P.S. below), Word 2007
mucks up drawings that contain text. This did not happen with Word 2003 (or earlier for that matter). The text produced is horribly unreadable. Screenshots: Word 2003 http://www.cflashsoft.com/temp/wd02drawtext_sc1.png Word 2007 (ugh!!!) http://www.cflashsoft.com/temp/wd07drawtext_sc1.png Word 2007 is absolutely UNUSABLE for creating technical documentation because of this. I hate this! Why destroy a perfectly working feature? Was this release even QA'd? P.S. Saving as Web Page (not filtered) produces the same result... except you wouldn't know it unless you used a browser other than IE! Before some "MVP" suggests this option, check it out for yourself first. -- -C. Moya www.cmoya.com |

BUG: Wd2007 Saving as web page with drawings- Horrible pixelation
What happens if you save as PNG?
What fonts are you using? What happens if you save as PDF? What kind of drawings are this (in other words, how did you make them)?

BUG: Wd2007 Saving as web page with drawings- Horrible pixelation
What kind of drawings are this (in other words, how did you make them)?
These are Word textboxes... either when placed in a Drawing Canvas or inline with text... it doesn't matter. It's also easy to reproduce. Just create a new document, Insert, Text Box. Type some text. Save As Web Page (Filtered) (see P.S. in original post). Word 2003 (and prior AFAIK) saves them beautifully... Word 2007 destroys them. What happens if you save as PNG? Haven't changed the "Allow save as PNG" option. I shouldn't have to. What fonts are you using? I tried Times New Roman, Arial, and even Calibri. All same horrible result. What happens if you save as PDF? Don't know. That's not what I'm trying to do. -- -C. Moya www.cmoya.com "Patrick Schmid [MVP]" wrote in message ... What happens if you save as PNG?

BUG: Wd2007 Saving as web page with drawings- Horrible pixelation
Aha!... you didn't change the textbox to be inline with text (right-click
Format Textbox). I just discovered if I leave the textbox as a floating textbox, the problem doesn't manifest itself. However, it does manifest itself with floating Callouts. -- -C.

BUG: Wd2007 Saving as web page with drawings- Horrible pixelation
I repro it now. It seems to be a general bug in the image creation
algorithm. The PDF algorithm, which is different from the image one, creates the textbox just fine. Thanks for catching that! I'll send it over to MS and see what they say.

BUG: Wd2007 Saving as web page with drawings- Horrible pixelation
Hope its fixed ASAP. This is kind of a showstopper for us.
Thank you for taking the time to check it out with me.  P.S. I also think it's kinda odd that an inline textbox gets converted into a picture, while a floating one gets converted into a table (or div or whatever). I dunno... Anyway, regardless of anything, all the contents of a Drawing Canvas as well as Autoshape Callouts get converted into a pictures... so the problem manifests itself in them too.

Not sure how fast it will be fixed...It could be a while. Thank you for taking the time to check it out with me. No problem. Thanks for the repro steps! Anyway, regardless of anything, all the contents of a Drawing Canvas as well as Autoshape Callouts get converted into a pictures... so the problem manifests itself in them too. It's a big problem! As workarounds for the time being: Any chance you can use PDF instead? Or designate one computer with 2003 as the one from which the files are saved as web sites?

I think this might be related to the server. Is it IIS? If yes, the MIME
types are probably not set up correctly for the new file extensions.
