SYMPTOMS
========

When you save a Microsoft Word 97 for Windows document with the Word 6.0/95
binary format converter, multilevel and heading numbering are changed to plain
text.

CAUSE
=====

This problem is caused by the Word 97 RTF Export Converter (Wrd6ex32.cnv ) that
ships with Microsoft Word 97 for Windows. The number formatting feature in Word
97 provides for greater customization of heading and multilevel numbering than
Word 6.0 or Word 7.0.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.

This problem was corrected in Microsoft Office 97 Service Release 2 (SR-2).

For additional information about SR-2, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION
================

SR-2 includes an updated version of the Wrd6ex32.cnv converter which causes the
multilevel and heading numbering to be converted to Word 6.0/95 heading
numbering format.
