Assuming you're using the latest release of MacDraw II 1.1 the problem might
be that the different programs are using and not using Fractional Character
Widths.  MacDraw has this as a preference and you might try turning it on
and off to see what results you get.

Using Fractional Character Widths in one program then not using it in another
(or vice versa) can give you differring text lengths leading to your text 
fitting then not fitting into a box.

I'm afraid you can't import real (RGB) color into the current release of
Mac Draw II...
