This "problem" does not just happen with imported pictures.
I tried creating a drawing using word's graphic editor and got the same
thing. Parts of the drawing scattered all over the place.
I too am using laserwriter 8.1.1 but seem to remember the problem using
7.2, only not as severe. In that case the pics were from staview (graphs)
and were transfered from the scrapbook. They looked ok in preview but
printed with missing axes and other things. Unlike the present problem they
didn't "explode".
I really think it requires a fix from word but maybe it has been solved by
some other method?

Message-ID: <01H95VPLWB1S8WW4QR@ACC.HAVERFORD.EDU>
Making a list of all the words in a document is part of what making a
concordance is. Word doesn't do that easily; but it seems to me I've
seen a shareware concordance maker somewhere (SUMEX-AIM?). I'd export
the text as an ASCII file and let a concordance maker do the job.

i'm doing graphs in excel, publishing them, subscribing to them
in a word document, and resizing them (shrinking them to 60%).
whenever i make changes to the publishers (i.e. save the excel
document), word re-imports the edition and loses all the sizing
information. as i'm attempting to shoehorn these graphs into a t
2 column layout this is very frustrating.
is there a fix, or is this just one of those bug/"feature"
things?

Try this on one paragraph first to see what extra spaces or tabs you may
have that will complicate the procedure...
Be sure there is one space *and only one* between words and/or sentences in
your text. [The number of spaces between words will be critical; if you
have any doubts about how many there might be, begin by changing all double
spaces to a single space using the Change utility from the Document menu
(Com-H): press the spacebar twice in the Find What box and once in the
Change to box and perform the change operation on all text as many times as
necessary until there are no more changes left to be made.]
To begin, there should be nothing before the first word in your text. You
may need to eliminate tabs or perform the following operations separately
for spaces and tabs.
You want to insert .i. (in hidden text) before each word, and ; (in hidden
text) after each word, with a space before the ;. That is, replace each
space in your document with the unit space;.i. , all but the space
being in hidden text.
>From the Edit menu, choose Show paragraphs.
>From the Edit menu, choose Show Hidden Text.
Select (highlight) the first word of your text.
>From the Document menu choose Insert Index Entry. .i. (in hidden text)
will be inserted before the first word, and ; (also in hidden text) after
the space following this word.
Highlight and copy the .i. to the clipboard. This can be difficult to do
precisely with the mouse; you can instead place the i-beam cursor just
before these three characters, hold down the shift key, press the right
arrow key three times, and then copy the selected text. Paste this .i.
unit just after the ; that marks the end of this first index entry.
Now cut the unit space;.i. , which you have just created, to the
clipboard, and then delete (do not cut, just press the delete key) all but
the space from your text. You will have no hidden text left except the
initial .i. inserted before the first word.
To Change (Utilities menu or Com-H) all single spaces to the unit
space;.i. (all but the space to be in hidden text): type a space (press
the spacebar once) in the Find What box, and type ^c in the Change to box.
This places the contents of the clipboard (the unit space;.i. with all
but the space in hidden text, which you have just 'cut' in your previous
operation) everywhere there is a space.
>From the Utilities menu choose Index... and the format you prefer (I tried
this selecting 'nested'), and build your index.
The only aberration I find in the resulting index is that words that fall
at the ends of sentences (and hence are followed by period space rather
than just space) retain the period. To fine-tune the index once you've
built it the final time, you can remove all periods using the Change
utility by typing a period in the Find What box and deleting everything
from the Change to box.
This seems to work on the test paragraph I used -- I'd be interested in
feedback. :-)

Of course, as when building any index, deselect Show Hidden Text before
doing so (otherwise the page numbers won't come out right).

There's been a recurring thread in comp.sys.mac.misc about LaserWriter 8.x
printing problems (I have a stylewriter, so haven't been paying very
close attention, I'm afraid.) One of the posters has contacted both the
companies who released the apps that have problems and Apple and reports
that the problem is with the LaserWriter driver and that Apple is aware
of it. He also reports that the only solution is to drop back to the
latest 7.x release of the driver.
Sorry I don't have more details.

Do a search on " " (space, no quotes) and replace with "; .i." (no quotes)
with the Character Format "hidden". Replace all. Then on a second pass
replace all hidden spaces with normal spaces.
This won't take care of everything. There are problems with multiple
spaces and the before and after paragraphs (do the same as above, just put
^p instead of the space) but most of the grunt work will be done for you.
I can't imagine why you are doing this, though. Are you trying to do a
word count??
