SYMPTOMS
========
If you have a Word 97 document containing a drawing object that is composed of
several grouped line drawings, and you save it in Word 6.0/95 format or Rich
Text Format (RTF), it may appear in Word 7.0 as a single square box.
CAUSE
=====
This is a limitation to the drawing feature in Word 7.0. Word 97 has a drawing
feature that is much more flexible than Word 7.0; therefore, there are some Word
97 drawing features that cannot be supported in Word 7.0.
WORKAROUND
==========
Ungroup the drawing object in Word 97 by following these steps:
1. Click the drawing object to select it.
2. On the drawing toolbar, click Ungroup on the Draw menu.
3. Save the document as Word 6.0/95 or Rich Text Format (RTF)
