= SUMMARY =

If the text from MacDraw II graphics seems to be cut off or missing characters when printed in Microsoft Word versions 1.x, 3.x, and 4.0, but prints correctly in MacDraw II, Fractional Character Widths was selected (default) in MacDraw before the graphics were copied to the Clipboard.

Microsoft has been unable to duplicate this problem with Word 5.0 and MacDraw II version 1.1.

With MacDraw II version 1.0v4 or later, do the following to correct the problem:


 * 1) In MacDraw II, choose Preferences from the Layout menu.
 * 2) Clear the Fractional Character Widths option. Click the OK button.
 * 3) Copy the graphics to the Clipboard by choosing Copy from the Edit menu. Quit MacDraw II.
 * 4) Open Word. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.
