SYMPTOMS
========

In Microsoft Windows Write, if you save a document in Microsoft Word for MS-DOS
format, fonts, formatting, and any graphics are lost. This problem occurs even
if you convert the file back to normal Write format (.WRI).

This problem also occurs if you save a Write document as text. Spacing, margins,
tabs, and fonts are not saved in a text file.

If you create a Write document and import graphics into it, a message indicating
that all graphics information cannot be saved is displayed.
