WD: Macword Graphic Frames Shorter When Displayed in Winword

ID: Q122685

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

If you convert a Word for the Macintosh document that contains a graphic to Word for Windows format, the graphic image may appear slightly shorter in Word for Windows, both on the screen and when you print it.

CAUSE

There is a difference in screen resolution between the Macintosh and the Windows environment. The difference in graphics size between the two platforms is usually about 3 points.

WORKAROUND

Resize the graphic in Word for Windows.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
