SYMPTOMS

When you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer and you open a file that contains a graphic referenced in Vector Markup Language (VML) tags, save the file to a new location as a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) file, and then open the file from the new location, you may find that there is an empty placeholder where the graphic should be.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because Internet Explorer does not currently save graphics that are referenced in VML tags.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
