{| The information in this article applies to:
 * width="100%"|
 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 5.0, 5.1, 6.0

SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, subscriptions to graphics published from Adobe FreeHand 3.1, 4.0 and Adobe Illustrator 3.2 may not print a high quality image. It is possible the graphic will display correctly but appear jagged or bitmapped when printed from Word. In addition, EPSF files published from Claris' MacDraw Pro do not contain PostScript information and will appear jagged when printed from a Word subscription.

CAUSE
This may be caused by the format in which the graphic was created. In Illustrator, publishing as picture (PICT) and Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) is designed for use with Adobe products only. In FreeHand, the EPS option is designed for use with Adobe products only. Using these options to publish to Word can cause the printing problems described above.

To Publish a Subscription from Illustrator

 * 1) Select the graphic to be published.
 * 2) From the Edit menu, choose Create Publisher from the Publishing submenu.
 * 3) Type a name for the edition.
 * 4) Choose PICT Only and click Save.

To Publish a Subscription from Freehand

 * 1) Select the graphic to be published.
 * 2) From the Edit menu, choose Create Publisher from the Editions submenu.
