Lotus 1-2-3 Charts Are Cropped When Inserted in Word Document

ID: Q114689

6.00 6.00a 6.00c WINDOWS kbgraphic

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SYMPTOMS

A chart created in Lotus 1-2-3 version 3.x for MS-DOS may appear cropped on the left side after you insert it into a Word 6.0 for Windows document.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the Word 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows computer graphics metafile (.CGM) graphics filter. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUNDS

Method 1: You may be able to correct the problem by double-clicking the

          graphic to start the Word graphics editor. From the graphics
          editor, choose the margins button so all the pieces of the
          graphic are within the picture bounds, then close the editor.
          All of the graphic should now be visible.

Method 2: If the graphics editor causes distortion to the graphic, try

          using other methods of getting the file into Word, such as
          saving the file in other file formats or using a third-party
          graphics conversion package.
