[thelist] problems with wmz files

[Scarlett Julian (ED)]

I've tried opening with Fireworks which I thought handled vector graphics ok
but no joy. I renamed the file with a wmf extension - no joy.

I have just had a closer look at the html version of the doc and it appears
that the two graphs have become superimposed in the conversion to html
format. I have been informaed that the graphs came from the same spreadsheet
and using the same data and I'm wondering now if this may be causing the
problem.
