Well, I seem to remember something about Word having a problem importing
graphics (PICT).  Perhaps this could be your problem. I regularly use 
MacDraw II for captioning and other general tasks, which get imported into
Word, without much trouble.

If you are using a laserwriter, I'v known people to print their letterheads
in the graphics package used to create them and just run the page back through
after writing a letter using a WP. If you are using an ImageWriter, this
obviously is not the ideal solution... you might try PageMaker or RSG, as they
handle the importation of data better.

Also, you might want to let your friend know that ATM has been upgraded to 1.2.
While this probably won't solve this problem, it's always nice to be using the
latest software.
