SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. In a Microsoft Office Word 2007 document, you use the Copy command or the Cut command to move a text box to the Clipboard. Then, you click Paste Special in the Paste group on the Home tab. Then, you paste the text box as a GIF picture, as a PNG picture, or as a JPEG picture. However, the picture of the text box does not appear as expected. The text box appears thinner, longer, or smaller than the original text box.



CAUSE
This issue occurs if you use a relative width or a relative height to format the text box.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, you must set the width and the height of the text box to absolute dimensions. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Right-click the text box, and then click Format Text Box.
 * 2) Click the Size tab.
 * 3) In the Height section, click Absolute.
 * 4) In the Width section, click Absolute.
 * 5) Click OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
