Graphics Filters Installed During Typical Setup
-----------------------------------------------

The following graphic filters are installed during a typical Setup of either Word
97 or Office 97. These filters convert graphics on import with the exception of
the WordPerfect Graphics/DrawPerfect and CompuServe GIF converters. These two
converters are used by the WordPerfect and the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
text converters, respectively.


- Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)

- Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)

- WordPerfect Graphics/DrawPerfect (Imports WPG 1.0, 1.0e, and 2.0)

- WordPerfect Graphics (Export only)

- Macintosh PICT

- CompuServe GIF (import/export) used by the HTML converter.

Graphics Filters Not Installed During Typical Setup
---------------------------------------------------

The following graphics filters are not installed during a typical Setup. To
install these filters, rerun the Setup program, click Add/Remove, and then
select the graphics filter you want. Unless otherwise noted, these filters are
supported by Word for Windows only.

- Truevision Targa import (.tga)

- CorelDraw (.cdr) versions 3.0, 4.0 5.0, 6.0

PowerPoint and PhotoEditor.
