I used the text tool to create a small rectangle in MacDraw II (running on a Mac Plus with 2.5MB in an 800K partition). I entered a few random sentences in Palatino 12 with the style set to "Left". I used background printing and shipped the file to a LaserWriter Plus via CAP software. It printed correctly. I then changed the style of the text to "Justified" and again printed the document. The text came out compressed horizontally into about half the space of the original rectangle. It was justified, but the letters overlapped. (What a mess!) Has anyone else seen this problem?

I was using Helvetica 12 with style of center. Printed to file (clover F) and then shipped (via unix) to LW+. I had some rotated (90deg) text in drawing so I thought that might be cause of problem. I determined I needed to make my drawing larger (to include more detail in new layers) so I stretched it to double size and changed all text to larger font (don't recall what?). When I printed it (2x2 pages) same text problem. However when I printed it using the 50% setting in Print the text came out ok! Anybody know what's going on? Mike
