Summary:

When you paste a filled graphic into a Microsoft Word versions 3.0x document then add text to that graphic as explained on Page 117 in the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 3.0 manual, the graphic and the text appear to overlap in Page Preview.

Text that has been added to graphics in Word versions 3.0x by using Side-by-Side paragraphs may appear to be superimposed on the graphics in Page Preview, but should appear correctly when printed.

However, keep in mind that the two paragraphs cannot have the exact same indents; otherwise, the right paragraph will print below the left. For example, if the graphic paragraph is set to have left and right indents at 0 and 3 inches, the text paragraph must be set at greater than 0 inch on the left margin (in fact, it should be set to greater than 3 inches on the left margin to avoid having the graphic overlap the text when it is printed).
