Hi, everyone. I have question about printing grey scale picture on Laser
Printer. I have gray scale PICT format picture,(it is density plot) and 
I pasted that file to MS Word 4.0, and printed to Laser Writer, since
Laser Printer can print gray scale. It looked fine on the monitor, but
when it was printed,the picture looked so awful. 

Does anybody know how to escape from this problem? I prefer to use
MS Word 4.0 to print, but if MS Word cannot do this and other word
processing or DTP program can do this, I don't mind buying one. Also,
I know that MS Word support Post Script type of picture which you can
option-copy and paste into MS Word, but this is not what I want. (Since
picture is complicated, PostScript data is so huge, and scroll on
MS Word becomes unbearably slow.

Either post or e-mail is fine. I will forward answers I receive if you
are interested. Thanks in advance.
