  I've just unpacked my new copy of Excel 3.0, and set about testing
out its new charting features.  I seem, though, to have an
incompatibility when pasting from Excel 3.0 into MacDraw II.
  I select the graph, use the Copy Picture command,  but when I try to
paste it into MacDraw, all the text labels get scrunched up into a
single line near the top of the y axis, and all the columns in my
column chart disappear.
  It doesn't seem to matter whether I choose "Copy as shown on
screen", or "as shown when printed".  The same thing happens.
  I can paste the graph into the Scrapbook and it looks fine, and I
can also paste into Word, or PixelPaint without any problems.
  I tried exactly the same procedure with Excel 2.2, and it works
perfectly.  Is this an Excel 3.0 bug??
