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

Problem

Symptoms: The error message "Invalid Data" displays or the computer locks when a user retrieves a .EPS file. The file retrieved correctly into WordPerfect 5.1 and Presentations 2.0. Solutions: This problem is corrected with the 02/14/94 (6.0b) release of WP 6.0 DOS. Some .EPS files converted with early releases of GRAPHCNV.EXE created damaged .WPG 1.0 files. These .WPG 1.0 files would return an "Invalid Data" error when converted to .WPG 2.0 format. How/Why: As a troubleshooting option, users can follow the steps below to try to delete the TIFF header from the .EPS file: 1. Make a backup of the original .EPS file 2. Retrieve the .EPS file into a DOS editor (if there is a TIFF header present, you will see ASCII characters at the beginning of the file) 3. Start at the very beginning of the file and delete the characters until you come to "%!PS-Adobe-2.0....." which marks the beginning of the PostScript information 4. Save the file and then try to retrieve the graphic again In WP you will see "Contains Data for PostScript Printers" in place of the graphics image, but the image will print to a PostScript printer.
