SYMPTOMS
When you open a Microsoft Word 97 document containing lines with positive
slopes (the left end of the line is at a lower position than the right end
of the line) into Microsoft Word 7.x for Windows 95, the lines
change to negative slopes (the left end of the line is at a higher
position than the right end of the line).
CAUSE
You have opened the Word 97 file using the Word 97 Import Converter,
Mswrd832.cnv. The version of the converter that you are using does not
properly convert positive sloped lines.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, upgrade to the latest version of the Word 97
Import Converter. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
