Problem

Symptoms: When saving Microsoft Excel files using Windows 3.0 to the Clipboard and then trying to retrieve it into WordPerfect 5.1 or 5.0, it generates the error message "Incompatible File Format." Solutions: The user was trying to save a graph from Excel into the Windows 3.0 Clipboard. Then put WordPerfect into the Windows environment and try to Paste the file into a WordPerfect graphics box. The customer spoke with Microsoft Support, and said that Microsoft suggests that the user print the file to HPGL format in Excel. After printing the file (graph) to this format, the user was able to retrieve the file into a WordPerfect graphics box without difficulty. The problem seems to be that the file was not in a WordPerfect supported graphics format.
