Last night, a friend was using my Mac II + Deskwriter to print some
MSWord files containing Mac Draw graphics.  One particular graphic
apparently contained some perculiar control sequence, because after
that graphic was printed, the rest of the file printed upside down.
In fact, the rest of the page was printed superimposed over the offending
graphic.

We tried to open the original Mac Draw file in MacDraw II, but it said
there wasn't enough memory (even when all other applications were quit -
I have 5 Meg.)  Finally, we copied the graphic from the Word file into
a blank MacDraw II window and then pasted it back.  After this, there
was no problem.

Any ideas what could have caused this?
