I believe the problem you are encountering is that the clipboard format only supports alignment with a precision of 1/72 inch. If some of the items created in your Superpaint document are not aligned to a 1/72 inch grid, then copying to the clipboard forces to that grid, and when you paste it in somewhere else, well, you get the idea. I hope that one of the improvements in System 7 is to allow cutting and pasting with an accuracy of at least 1/300 inch. --Mark
