WD95: Positive Sloped Lines Change to Negative Sloped Lines

When you open a Microsoft Word 97 document containing lines with positive slopes (the left end of the line is at a lower position than the right end of the line) into Microsoft Word 7.x for Windows 95, the lines change to negative slopes (the left end of the line is at a higher position than the right end of the line).

You have opened the Word 97 file using the Word 97 Import Converter, Mswrd832.cnv. The version of the converter that you are using does not properly convert positive sloped lines.

To resolve this problem, upgrade to the latest version of the Word 97 Import Converter. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with certain versions of the Word 97 Import Converter.

This problem is corrected in the version of the converter available with Microsoft Office 97 SR-2.

This problem is only with positive sloped lines. Negatively sloped lines are converted correctly.
