OFF2000: EMF Graphics Display and Are Printed Reversed and Inverted

When you insert or paste an EMF (Enhanced Metafile) graphic into a Microsoft Word document, the graphic may appear reversed and inverted (backward and upside down). When you print the document, the graphic is printed as it appears on screen.

NOTE: This problem may also occur in Microsoft Excel 2000 and Microsoft PowerPoint 2000.

To work around this problem, open the graphic in a graphics editing program, and save it as another graphics format, such as JPEG or GIF.

For example, open the EMF graphics file in Microsoft Photo Draw 2000, and save the graphic in the JPEG (*.jpeg, *.jpg) or GIF (*.gif) graphic file format. Then, insert the JPEG or GIF graphic file in Microsoft Word.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Word 2002.
