WinCE: Error Converting Document with Graphics to H/PC Format

ID: Q183593

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE Services, versions 2.0, 2.1
Microsoft Windows CE version 2.0 for the Handheld PC

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to convert a Microsoft Office document to Handheld PC (H/PC) format, you may receive one of the following error messages:

Unable to load graphics conversion filter. Cannot convert file <filename>. Continue with conversion?
Slide Export: Sorry, PowerPoint could not export the slides(s) because no installed converter supports this file type.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the Office text converters and graphic filters are not installed on your computer.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, install the Office converters and filters. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Insert the Office CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. If you are using a

   specific Office product such as Microsoft Word, insert that program's
   CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

2. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

3. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.

4. Double-click Microsoft Office. If you are using a specific Office

   program and have not installed the Office suite, double-click the Office
   program you used to create the document you are attempting to convert.
   For example, double-click Microsoft Word.

5. Click Add/Remove.

6. Click Converters And Filters, and then click Change Option.

7. Click the Text Converters check box to select it, and then click the

   Graphics Filters check box to select it. If these check boxes contain
   check marks but are dimmed, some of the converters and filters are not
   installed. It may be necessary for you to install additional converters
   and filters. For more information about how to install converters and
   filters, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge
