Insert .hpg graphics in Word

[Pirke]

Hi All,

Hope someone can help me.

I know of a graphic filter for hpg-files for word97
But I can't find anything about this for WordXP

Is it possible to insert .hpg graphic files into a WordXP
document, and if so, how?


Thanks, peter

Hi Pirke,

The filter for HPGL files (.HPL and .PLT), no longer supported
by MS, is still available here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;196506&FR=1
It unzips to a folder of your choice. The readme.txt file
has instructions for setting it up.

Turn on [x] Confirm Conversions on Open in Word
in Tools=>Options=>General when first using it.
Word 2002 and up use a different graphics rendering
engine internally than earlier versions and your
success with this filter may not be 100%.

Bob,

Thanks for this,
You're sure it also works (most of the time) with WordXP? (because this
is not mentioned in the article you linked to, probably that's also the
reason I didn't find it when searching the KnowledgeBase)

I don't know yet if it works for me, because I have to test (and test
it with other user)
but it looks good in theory.

I'll try to test today (or tomorrow) and let you know.

Again, thanks so far!
