- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS
========
When you open a Word 97 document containing bullets and/or numbers that you
saved in the WordPerfect 5.x for Windows format, the bullets and numbers are not
retained.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior occurs if Microsoft FrontPage 98 is installed on the same computer
as Microsoft Word 97.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, upgrade to Microsoft Word 97 for Windows Service
Release 1 (SR-1).
You can work around this problem without upgrading to Microsoft Word Service
Release 1 (SR-1). To do this, perform a custom installation of FrontPage 98 and
do not do not install the Proofing Tools and Converters (in the Components
section).
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Word 97
Service Release 1 (SR-1).
