I've had this kind of trouble when I copy PICTs from MacDraw to Word and the Fractional Widths settings are not the same in both programs. This is particularly annoying because MacDraw II defaults to Fractional Widths *on* (at least in early versions), while Word defaults to *off*. To work around, either turn off Fractional Widths in MacDraw and re-copy your PICT, or turn on Fractional Widths in Word. --Peter Poorman Control Data Corporation 9894 Bissonnet, Suite 229 Houston, Texas 77036 pwp@shamash.UUCP (I think -- or try pwp@shamash.cdc.com)
