Here is seemingly a common situation that I don't know how to solve:

I am trying to write some documents in Word 4. Some parts of it require
that I use graphs from given data. It sounded simple enough, so I used
Wingz to create the chart that I needed to paste. After creating the
chart, I cut and paste the chart to the Word document, and it looked
good in the screen. However, when I printed the document, the chart was
just an ink smudge.

I thought that maybe fill pattern for the chart was in wrong setup, so
I went back to Wingz and cut and paste into SuperPaint. Now even on the
screen, all I saw was just black blobs, not the chart that I drew
previously.

Then I tried to look up related materials from the manuals--there
wasn't a single mention how I may copy the chart and paste into other
applications. Of course, I know cut and pasting the chart from one
worksheet to another doesn't work because the chart wants the data to
be intact. But there must be some ways to fix the chart as a picture
(other than taking screen shots of it--which was what I ended up doing).

Frankly this is quite embarrasing. I would like to blame Wingz for this
(maybe it is bug), but seriously, there must be something that I did
wrong or something that I missed.  Any ideas?

I am using SE w/ 6.0.2, multifinder, Wingz 1.0, Word 4.0, and Superpaint
1.1MS, if it helps.

Thanks,
Chang Woo
