Problem

Symptoms: The customer is trying to import graphics from Harvard GeoGraphics 1.0 into WordPerfect. GeoGraphics can export graphic files in the following formats: CGM, CHT, EPS (Encapsulated PostScript), HPG, PCX, and SYM. However, none of these formats seem to work with WordPerfect 5.1. Solutions: The CGM files will import correctly into the 03/30/90 and earlier releases of WordPerfect 5.1. However, due to changes made to the CGM import which follow the ANSI standards more closely, these files no longer import. Also, if the image does not contain any text, it will import correctly. Harvard is aware of the problem, and may correct it in a future version of GeoGraphics. Simple HPGL files will import correctly. More complex images will give a "Not Enough Memory For Graphics" error. This is because WP has a limited buffer size for caching polygons in HPGL files. Also, version 1.0 of GeoGraphics is writing the PCX format incorrectly. This has been fixed in version 1.01. Customers can contact Harvard for an upgrade. In addition, exported EPS files from GeoGraphics will import into WordPerfect. As a workaround to the problem of importing GeoGraphics into WordPerfect, customers can export graphics in SYM (Harvard Symbol) format, take them into Harvard Graphics, and export from there in HPGL (versions 2.x) or CGM (version 3.0) format. The graphics can then be imported into WordPerfect.
