I'm running system 6.0.2 on a Mac II.  I've tried option-copying
Illustrator '88 1.8.3 drawings to the clipboard and then pasting them into
Word 4.0 documents with and without Multifinder turned on, and I don't have
any problems with the procedure in either case.  The drawing comes into the
Word document at the size it was defined to be in the Illustrator document,
text wraps properly around the graphic, and I can resize it (proportionally,
which is nice!) after it's in the Word document.
