From: J.Pearce@uk.ac.ucl.cs We too have suffered from problems when transferring simple pictures from MacDraw II 1.1v1 to MS Word and a variety of other applications. We have had particular problems with arcs joined to straight lines that look OK in MacDraw even if you zoom in 3200%, but as soon as you copy them to the clipboard there is an erratic alignment problem (if you use show clipboard in MacDraw the problem is visible). The only work-around we have found is to save the picture in PICT format, re-open the PICT file, then copy. This is tiresome, but it seems to aleviate the problem. To have to resort to manual cut & paste on a macintosh is a "crime". System 7 must be an ideal opportunity to address this problem. John R.
