WD97: "Float over text" Object Converts with Extra Paragraph Mark (198377)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q198377 SYMPTOMS
When you open a Word 97 for Windows document that contains Float Over Text
objects in an earlier version of Word, all of the Float Over Text objects
are converted to frames and an extra paragraph mark is placed after the
frame.
CAUSE
Earlier versions of Word do not support Float Over Text objects. When you
open a Word document that contains Float Over Text objects into an earlier
version of Word, the Float Over Text objects are converted to objects in a
frame. When the frame is inserted, an extra paragraph is inserted with it.
This extra paragraph mark can change the layout of your document.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
- In an earlier version of Word, open the document and delete the
unwanted paragraph marks (blank lines).
-or-
- In Word 97 for Windows, open the document and replace all of the Float
Over Text objects with objects that are placed in text boxes.
