This article was previously published under Q112420 SYMPTOMS
If you attempt to access a file with a .DRW extension that is not a
Lotus Freelance for MS-DOS file (version 3.0 or 4.0) by clicking Open
on the File menu or by clicking Slides From File on the Insert menu,
one of the following error messages appear.
In PowerPoint 7.0, you will receive the following message:
Sorry, this type of file cannot be opened by PowerPoint.
In PowerPoint 4.0, you will receive the following message:
PP4 caused a General Protection Fault in module FL40DOS.PDI at
0001:AD35.
CAUSE
Several graphics applications (Micrografx Designer, for example) use
the same file extension (.DRW) for their data files as Lotus Freelance
for MS- DOS. The Freelance translator is expecting the .DRW files to
be from Lotus Freelance for MS-DOS. The error occurs when the Freelance
translator encounters the unfamiliar file format from a non-Lotus
graphics application.
RESOLUTION
To import .DRW graphics files, click Insert Picture on the Edit menu
rather than clicking Open on the File menu or clicking Slides From
File on the Insert menu.
