Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I find inaccuracies in my
laser printouts of pictures which are pasted into Word from MacDraw.
They print out perfectly when printed directly from MacDraw. But when I
paste them into my Word document and then print, arrowheads are lopsided,
and some lines are too long, running into or out of other objects.

Is this something that can be cured? Reference: System is SE/30 running
System 6.0.4 and Word 4.0B. Printing is done by generating a postscript
file, which is tranferred to our Suns and printed out on an Apple
Laserwriter hooked up to them. Would it help to
	(a) Upgrade to a newer version of the system.
	(b) Connect the Mac directly to the laserwriter
	(c) Jump up and down while printing.

Comments?
