Someone here is trying to draw a picture like this in Mac Draw II:

   ---TEXT-----------------------------------------
 /                                                  \
|                                                    |
|                                                    |
 \                                                  /
  ----------------------------------------TEXT-----

In other words, they have drawn an oval with corners and then typed
text over parts of the border.  It looks fine on the screen, but when
they print it on the Laser Writer, it looks like this:


   ---TEXT     ------------------------------------
 /                                                  \
|                                                    |
|                                                    |
 \                                                  /
  ----------------------------------------TEXT    -

In other words, parts of the border that are not covered with text do
not print.  We have checked to make sure that there are no trailing
spaces in the text that would cause the problem (in other words, when
we select the text, it seems to end where we think it ends).  Does
anyone have an suggestion as to how to fix this?  Personally, I think
the easiest solution would be to just not put the text on the border,
but that is not one of my options :-)
