Graphic not displayable in Office 2000
There must be a type of graphic which you can insert in a document which
displays ok in Office 2003 but won't display in Office 2000. I get documents from a company which includes its company logo as a picture object in the document. If I'm looking at it in Office 2000 the logo just displays as an empty box with a small red cross in the top left corner. I can edit documents in Office 2000 and the logo will still display correctly when the document is next opened in Office 2003 so Office 2000 is not altering the formatting. I've noticed the same with some pictures when using Powerpoint 2000 to open a powerpoint file created with Powerpoint 2003. Is there a way of getting these graphics to display correctly in Office 2000? Grateful for any advice. |

Graphic not displayable in Office 2000
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately none of the ideas suggested on this link
have resolved the problem. I already had the ToolsOptions set as suggested. Maybe there is some graphic storage format used by Word 2003 which is not accessible to Word 2000.

Graphic not displayable in Office 2000
Hi Simon,
There was a change in behavior for the EPS graphic type as far as the way the filter for it handles inserted graphics, but generally the result wouldn't be a 'RedX' (missing converter/corrupted graphic/broken link to a linked graphic). There are also optional install graphics filters. Do you have access to the Logo file to see what type of graphic it is? ================ "simonc" wrote in message ... Thanks for your reply.

Bob
Thanks for your reply. Maybe the problem is a missing filter. How could I check if I have all the graphics filters installed? I thought I'd done a full install of every option from the CD-R. Are there other filters I might find on Microsoft's web pages? Alternatively, if the logo was linked to a file on the company's system, would it be possible to check this? Grateful for your assistance.

Hi Simon,
For Office 2000 there are both options installation filters and additional download filters. In Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel bring up your Microsoft Office choice and use the Add or Remove features choice, and check the settings under 'Office Shared Features=Converters and Filters" The Office Converter Pack can be downloaded through the link in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/212265/?FR=1 ================== "simonc" wrote in message ...
