= SYMPTOMS =

In Works 4.0 for the Macintosh, when you create a circle or oval object with a gradient fill, if there is no outline around the object, the bottom and side edges of the object may appear flat on the screen and when it is printed.

= RESOLUTION =

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods.

Method 1
Create an outline using the same color as the background color. To do this, use the following steps:


 * 1) Click the object you want to correct.
 * 2) On the Tool Palette, click the Outline tool.
 * 3) Select the color of the background (For example, if the object is on a white background, select white).

The object now appears to be more rounded and the outline is not visible.

Method 2
Choose a non-gradient fill from the Tool Palette. To do this, use the following steps:


 * 1) In the Works document, click the oval you want to correct.
 * 2) On the Tool Palette, click the Fill Pattern tool.
 * 3) Click any fill that is not a gradient fill.

The object now appear more rounded on the edges.
