= SYMPTOMS =

Elements of a picture shift when you print it from Word to an Apple LaserWriter or PostScript-compatible printer. This problem occurs when you print a graphic in the PICT format, which contains rotated elements, to a PostScript-compatible printer using Apple’s LaserWriter printer driver version 8.1 or 8.1.1.

= STATUS =

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

= WORKAROUNDS =

Method 1: Use an earlier version of Apple’s LaserWriter printer driver, such as version 7.2 or 8.0.

Method 2: Import the graphic into Word in the EPS format.

NOTE: Turning Background Printing off does NOT correct this problem.
