PPT: Only True Harvard Graphics for MS-DOS File Imported (155481)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 4.0
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 4.0a
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 4.0c
This article was previously published under Q155481 SUMMARY
PowerPoint for Windows can open files created in Harvard Graphics for DOS
versions 2.3 and 3.0. PowerPoint cannot open Harvard Graphics for Windows
files nor can it open files that have been saved as Harvard Graphics for
DOS from Harvard Graphics for Windows. This is expected behavior in
PowerPoint.
MORE INFORMATION
Even though Harvard Graphics for Windows has the ability to save files in a
DOS format that is usable by Harvard Graphics for DOS, the files still
contain some Windows file information. The Windows parts of the file
prevent the Harvard Graphics for DOS translator from reading and
opening files saved in this manner.
In addition, saving a file originally created in Harvard Graphics for
Windows in Harvard Graphics for DOS format may not be sufficient to rid
the file of it's Windows information. Saving the file in Harvard Graphics for
DOS to an earlier version may be sufficient.
