DocumentID: 609579

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Some IMG graphics files will not import into later releases of WP. The customer has some IMG graphics images which import into the 03/30/90 or earlier releases of WP; however, the customer receives the error "Bad Format" while trying to import the same graphics into the 06/29/90 or later release. The customer is also unable to import the images into WordPerfect for Windows or DrawPerfect 1.1 but can import them into Presentations 2.0. Solutions: Development made changes to the way WP looks at IMG files when they import beginning with the 06/29/90 release. WP now looks more closely at the information contained within the header of IMG files to determine its length. Newer versions of IMG graphics may not import. To work around the problem if the customer has PR 2.0, the customer could import the files into PR and save them as WPG files. The customer might also try exporting in another graphics format or using an older version of GRAPHCNV if available; the 03/30/90 release should work in most cases.
