The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: An EPS file that imports correctly into WordPerfect 5.x returns an "Invalid Data" error when retrieved in WP 6.0. The customer has an EPS file which retrieves and prints fine in WP 5.x. However, when the customer imported the same file into WP 6.0, an "Invalid Data" error occurred. Some of the customer's files come from CorelDRAW 3.0 and PhotoFinish 1.0. Solutions: This problem is corrected with the 09/13/93 (6.0a) release of WP 6.0 DOS. How/Why: This problem does not occur will all EPS files, but can occur with any EPS file. The problem is caused due to the way the BoundingBox statement in the EPS file is used. The EPS files which have this problem have a decimal place in the BoundingBox statement (e.g., %%BoundingBox: 0 0 175.680 57.600). The decimal place does not conform to the EPS format that WP 6.0 is expecting and subsequently the error occurs. To work around this problem, the customer can retrieve the file in to a DOS Text editor or into WP 6.0 as an ASCII Text (Standard) file, and remove the decimal and any subsequent numbers following it. The customer can then resave the file (giving it a different filename) and the file will import correctly into WP 6.0.
