I had some problems getting some of my drawings to align as well.  I
eventually didn't fix it and let it ride.  However, I found a few ways
to to work around it, basically I remember being careful in my
scaling of drawing parts within draw before importing into Word.  This
was 1.9.5, I think Draw II fixed the problem (at least partially).
