Alex EMF is an Enhanched Media File (Windows) and your MS Word 2001 obviously has not got the capabilities of converting it.
You will find in general that Mac Word will do a reasonable job converting normal Windows Word documents but as soon as some form of graphic is included into it more often than not you might as well forget even trying.

Can anyone please enlighten me on what is happening and any way of getting around it? I have tried to pre-empt the converting emf process by doing a Comm P before it appears in the bottom bar but all that did was to now give me a type 3 error. Many thanks in advance, Alex
