[comp.sys.mac.misc] MacDraw

I have been creating figures in MacDraw II and and using Cut and Paste to 
move them into a Word 4.0 document, all the time working on Multifinder.
When I print such Word documents on a Laserwriter, some of the lines 
(horizontal and verticals, not just intermediate angles as mentioned by 
others) are 4-point thick! Also some of the boxes. And it does that on 
some of the objects. Imagewrite II printouts are O.K. though. Now, back in 
MacDraw (on an SE/30) everything looks (almost) normal and you see all lines
as they should be, i.e. 1-point. The only indication is that the now thick
lines have 2 handle bars on each end instead of the normal 1 !. So, you 
can select and drag them to scale their width, as if they are a box !. 

If somene can help in solving this problem, please e-mail me and I will
summarize the opinions/solutions on the net.

Thanks y'all.

I am working with MacDraw II version 1.0v3.
It looks like it screws up (not always but in most cases), all documents 
saved in PICT format. Lines are opened as 2 dimensional objects. This
seems to cause the printout problems. Is there anyway of getting back to
the correct form without recreating everything.

Thanks,
