Hi everyone,

This Issue had probably be discussed before but I surely missed it.
Word 2000 for Windows will open a Word 98 file properly but it will not be
able to edit the Graph (made with Microsoft Graph on Word 98). Word 2000
consider the Graph made with MS GRAPH for Mac to be a picture and cannot
edit the object.
OFFICE 97 doesn't seems to have this problem, so is this a unique issue
between Word 98 Mac and Word 2000 Windows?
The "Combined Updater" for Office 98 was installed long time ago.
Anyone had a problem similar?

Thanks

Thanks John,

I will verify that MS Graph is installed properly on the Windows machine.
I've always thought MS Graph was installed by default from any Office
package.
