= SYMPTOMS =

When text is copied from a Works Word Processor document, the text may wrap incorrectly after it is pasted into either the Draw layer or into a Draw document.

The text may wrap in a single column of letters going down the Draw layer/document.

= CAUSE =

This problem will occur when the indent markers have been adjusted in the originally copied text.

= RESOLUTION =

To correct this problem:


 * 1) Highlight the text and choose Copy from the Edit menu.
 * 2) Open a new Word Processor document and activate the Draw layer by choosing any of the drawing tools on the Tool palette.
 * 3) From the Edit menu, choose Paste.
 * 4) From the Tool Palette, select the Text tool (capital A).
 * 5) Click the pasted text to get an insertion point.
 * 6) Highlight all the text.
 * 7) On the ruler, move the indents to the correct location.
 * 8) Once the text is wrapping correctly, choose the Selection tool (the arrow) on the Tool palette.
 * 9) Click the text object and choose Copy from the Edit menu.

The text will now paste correctly.
