MacDraw II: Printing Rotated Text Without Clipping

When text is rotated in MacDraw II, MacDraw Pro or Claris CAD, then printed from another program, such as Microsoft Word, one or more corners of the text may print clipped.

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
The issue occurs when text is imported into the other application via PICT or the clipboard, and usually when multiple-line text objects are rotated. The program printing the document may not properly interpret Claris' method of rotating text when the image is transferred via PICT or the clipboard.

Workaround from MacDraw Pro or Claris CAD 2.0v3:
Save the drawing as an EPSF file. This EPSF file can be imported into the other program and should print correctly.

Workaround from MacDraw II, or when transferring to another application that can't import EPSF images: try pasting the image to another application, such as Aldus Persuasion, then copy/paste into the destination program.

Or, try the following steps:The blank area surrounding the graphic may be quite large, but MacWrite II and other programs let you remove the blank area by cropping the image with the mouse.
