= SUMMARY =

When you print a Pie chart on an Apple ImageWriter from the Microsoft Works, version 1.0 Spreadsheet module, the Pie chart correctly prints as a circle. In Works versions 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0, the Pie chart prints elongated, (that is, oval shaped).

This is a limitation in these versions of Works. These versions do not allow the use of the Tall Adjusted option required to print the Pie charts as circles on the ImageWriter.

This problem has been corrected in Works 4.0, which has the capability of using the Tall Adjusted option.

= RESOLUTION =

To print the Pie charts correctly, use the following steps:


 * 1) Create the Pie chart.
 * 2) From the Edit menu, choose Copy Chart.
 * 3) Open a Word Processor document.
 * 4) From the Edit menu, choose Paste.
 * 5) From the File menu, choose Page Setup.
 * 6) Check the Tall Adjusted option.
 * 7) Print the document.

After following these steps, the pie chart should print correctly.
