CGM files into PC Word for Windows [message #5238]

Hi,

I'm having problems importing IDL created CGM files into Word for Windows
on a PC.

Using IDL 4.0 under DEC OSF, I've created a CGM file as follows:

IDL> set_plot,'cgm'
IDL> device,filename='idl.cgm'
IDL> !p.color=0
IDL> loadct,39
IDL> tvscl,findgen(200,200)
IDL> device,/close

Then why I try to import it as a picture into Word, I get:

This graphics file may be damaged and cannot be converted

Why? And how do I get around it?

Two extra points:
1) If I output graphics other than an image - i.e. plot or contour instead
of tvscl - then it works fine
2) I have similar problems importing CGM files containing images onto a
Power Mac, via Graphicconverter and ClarisDraw.

Hope someone can help.

Cheers, Tim
