#### 15.7.5 Accommodating graphics in multiple versions of Word

If your converted files are to be used in a later version of Word (or in several versions), and you expect problems with missing or incorrectly scaled graphic elements, do the following for each RTF file:

1. Load the file into the version of Word you specified for the conversion.
2. Save the file as .doc.

Use the .doc file instead of the RTF file in later versions of Word.
