Does anyone know a good workaround for this "known MacDraw II 1.1
bug"?

I am having trouble getting objects and text to line up properly when
printing.  I have a large text object in Courier font.  I would like to
circle and underline some of the letters, etc.  I create my drawing on
the screen and it looks fine.  But when I try to print (LWIInxt), the
objects are all shifted to the left about one 12pt character and not
scaled quite properly relative to the text (they shrink).  The text was
imported via the clipboard from MS Word, in this particular case, but I
have had similar problems even with text that I typed in MacDraw II.

Claris tech support suggested 1) grouping the objects (this did not
work) and 2) turning AutoGrid on and using 72 division/inch  (this did
not work either)

This problem comes up fairly often and I was wondering if anyone knew of a
good solution.

Thanks in advance,
