I am having a similar problem when I edit graphics in Word/Office 97 then
save it in Word 7. Some of the graphics are drawings which were created in
Word; others are imported graphics in .tif format. In some cases, when I
open the file in Word 7 I get empty frames, as Mike mentioned, and in other
cases the graphics are there but I cannot edit them.
My current strategy is to only edit text in Word/Office 97 and do the
graphics editing in Word 7 only, since the final documents have to be Word
7.
I have never had such difficulties with saving files in an earlier version
of a software package.
Does anyone have any better ideas?
