I have big problems when I try to import vector pictures created in
DESIGNER (vers. 3.02) into WfW (US vers. 1.1). If the picture is less than
64K (clipboard format ?) everything is OK with copy / paste. For more than
64K pictures I got an Unrecoverable Application Error (UAP). In draft mode
I can import the picture (which is thus not displayed) but as soon as I 
switch off the draft view mode I get an UAP. Trying the same procedure
in AmiPro (vers. 1.2) gives an identical result (UAP).
If I save a picture file in WMF format and try to import that
file in WfW I receive the "Error! cannot read or display file" (only
for >64Kb files). No problem in AmiPro; the file is imported.
I tried to save the file in .PIC format but I had no success in importing
the file in WfW. (UAC or "Error! cannot...").
I do not want to save the vector picture files to bitmap files (.TIF, for 
instance, import works well with those files) and I do not want to change 
my word processor program. 

Well, is there any solution ? Other import filters ? 
Other window or WfW version.... ?
