• "Examples of Unsupported Objects"

D.1 All Office Applications

Please note the following conversion limitations that currently apply for all Office 2007 applications:

• Smart art (see "Examples of Unsupported Objects" for an example)

• VB controls and macros (see "Examples of Unsupported Objects" for an example)

• Table cell formatting

• Word art (see "Examples of Unsupported Objects" for an example)

• Vector graphics (Office art & VML) transparency, picture styles, effects, etc. (see "Examples of Unsupported Objects" for an example)

• Password-protected documents

D.2 Word 2007

Please note the following conversion limitations that currently apply for Word 2007 documents:
