MACINTOSH

================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 ——————————————————————–

= SYMPTOMS =

When you import color graphics created in MacDraw II to Word, the graphics may appear in black and white (although they look correct in and print correctly from MacDraw II).

= CAUSE =

This problem may occur in the following two instances:


 * You are using an earlier version of MacDraw than version 1.1. In versions of MacDraw II prior to version 1.1, the PICT file does not export properly. To get the most recent version of MacDraw II, call Claris Technical Support at (408) 727-9054.
 * The Color Clipboard option is not selected. In versions 1.1 and later of MacDraw II, choose Preferences from the Layout menu. In the Preferences dialog box, choose Color Clipboard. This option allows color to be copied to the Clipboard and exports the PICT file properly.
