Folks

I have noticed a similar problem the other way.

If I paste a BlackBox View (eg a LibPlotters graph or an Escher drawing)
as an OLE object into Word then the labels are drawn badly - the font,
spacing,
and positioning are inaccurate. When I focus the View to edit it it is
redrawn
correctly.

When I have to use Word I use bitmaps, and even these are never drawn
pixel for pixel.

Cheers

Robert.
