This one ois really weird - any help appreciated. We have a logo created in Freehand 2.02 and we select it and cut it to the clipboard using the option/cut to create a PICT with Embedded PostScript. This is then pasted into a Word 4 document. This goes fine and the document prints to full PostScript resolution. However, if you try to scale the Word graphics object containing the PICT + PS it starts to get odd. *Sometimes* the graphic will scale perfectly, on screen and on the printer, but most of the time only the frame round the graphic scales and the logo stays the same size. In fact in a test we carried out, the ONLY time we could get it to scale properly was the first time we attempted it. All other tries failed to scale. We re-started the programs, cleared the clipboard, used the scrapbook, re-booted - nothing would let us do the scaling again. So if anyone has any bright ideas about this please let me know.
