WD97: Rotated or Flipped Text in Macpict Graphic Appears Distorted (197023)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q197023 SYMPTOMS
In Word for Windows, if you edit a Macpict graphic that contains rotated
or
flipped text, or if the graphic itself is rotated, the rotated or flipped
text or graphic may appear distorted or coarse.
NOTE: To create a Macpict graphic, use the Word for the Macintosh picture
editor.
CAUSE
The Word for Windows picture editor does not support rotated or flipped
text. If you edit a Macpict graphic, Word transforms the rotated text into
two superimposed components, namely an unrotated text image and a bitmap
image of the rotated text. The superimposed images appear distorted.
This distortion may worsen if you scale the graphic more than 5 percent of
its original size.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
