A co-worker here encountered a strange problem with Works 2.O.

In a WP document, he created a merge document to use an existing
database. He then used 'Draw" to create a diagram consisting of a dozen or so
rectangles & lines, some of them enclosing some of the fields designated
to merge.

He successfully 'print merged' about a hundred pages, then decided to
make a change in the position of some of the rectangles, and
successfully printed a couple more records before saving the files &
shutting down for the day.

Next day he tries to print a few more records - and poof! the rectangles
have changed position. I found that selecting a rectangle to move it
would sometimes result in an apparently successful move, but the old
position was still marked with 'handles,' that could also be moved.
Also, selecting a rectangle & redrawing the screen sometimes resulted in
the rectangle being vertically flipped on its top 2 axes. Apparently
this is what had happened with the unsuccessful print: some of the
rectangles had been 'flipped' out of position.

Anyone have any suggestions about what could be going on, or how to
prevent the 'flips'? The WP file is 7K, the database 31K. Works 2.0
running on an SE with 1 meg memory, Finder only. (I recreated the
problem on my MacII, 5K memory, Multifinder). I suggested grouping all
the objects, & using the 'Save As' occassionally, but I have no idea if
either will work.
