= SUMMARY =

To export Aldus FreeHand version 2.0 graphics to Microsoft Works, use the OPTION+Copy procedure, as follows:

  Select the drawing in FreeHand.   Hold down the OPTION key and choose Copy from the Edit menu. A message should appear that says “Converting to clipboard.”   Paste the image into Works. 

You can now move and resize the graphic.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The graphic is a PICT image with embedded PostScript commands that allow the graphic to print at the same resolution after it is brought into Works. Because the Macintosh screen is only 72 dots per inch (dpi), PostScript does not appear on screen. The print quality depends on the output device.

To export Works graphics to Aldus FreeHand 2.0, do the following:


 * 1) Select the image.
 * 2) From the Edit menu, choose Copy.
 * 3) Paste the graphic into FreeHand.

Note that the graphic is a PICT image and cannot be edited in FreeHand.
