Subject:Re: Problem With Microsoft Word97? From:Mary Choy <mchoy -at- SIRIUS -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 27 May 1999 13:58:59 -0700
Just about everyone at Documentum had that problem, too. Mainly with long
Word docs (20 or more pages). The only way we got around it was to not
cut/paste graphics in, but instead to Insert > Picture > From File. (some
menu commands very close to that). It was insane. Many many screenshots etc.
were lost for good from many specs, etc. They all had to be redone. You'd
screenshot, save it as a named file w/ .gif or .bmp extention. Then have to
Insert > Picture > from file and select that named file. BUT IT WORKED!
which is nice....
word97 is schizo, and so am i. :)
good luck, and sorry i don't have better news,
