Do you mean MacDrawII?  If so, read on...

This is a very frustrating problem!  If I remember correctly, it was
discussed on c.s.m sometime back, but I don't remember ever seeing any
satisfying answer.  I think the problem is that somewhere along the way
from leaving MacDrawII (with the desired graphics on the clipboard),
entering MSWord, and pasting into a Word document, the graphics info
(with high precision) gets converted to PICT format, which, I think, can
only have 1/72-inch (1-pt) accuracy.  If that is so, either MacDrawII
or MSWord (or both) must be changed to keep the higher-precision data.

Does this sound right?
