WD95: Outline Numbering Incorrect in Imported Word 97 Document

• Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a

SYMPTOMS

In Word 7.x for Windows 95, when you open a Word 97 document, outline numbered (multilevel) paragraphs may be incorrectly numbered.

NOTE: Blank lines may also be incorrectly numbered.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Word 97 Import Converter (Mswrd832.cnv) converts an outline numbered paragraph incorrectly if the paragraph is broken across a page break.

NOTE: When this problem occurs, a blank line (paragraph) is added above the page break and is assigned the heading style of the paragraph that follows the page break.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, upgrade to the latest version of the Word 97-2000 Import Converter. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
