This article was previously published under Q157466 SYMPTOMS
When you open a Word 97 document that contains WordArt text effects in Word
7.0, the WordArt is missing.
When you open a Word 97 document that contains WordArt text effects in Word
6.0 for Windows, the WordArt object appears as a pattern-filled drawing
object.
CAUSE
WordArt 97 objects are special text effects that are not converted to Word
7.0 or Word 6.x WordArt objects. An object may appear as colored, patterned
color, or solid black box.
This is a design limitation in the Word
for Windows 6.0/7.0 converter.
WORKAROUND
Use the Word 97 & 6.0/95 RTF converter instead of the Word 6.0/95 converter
to preserve the WordArt when reopened in Word 97.
