The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSThe option settings for the Text with Layout converter are not available when you use the EditConversionOptions macro in the Convert8.Wiz template.

STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
