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.

Lindsay
