Copying from the Paint environment and pasting into another environment will create a Paint frame. This can be inconvenient for several reasons:
* The frame has a border and that border prints unless you change the pen color of the frame to white or translucent or apply a pen width of none.
* In order to resize the Paint object you must select the frame, use the Paint tools to select the objects inside and then use the Scale menu item to resize the object.
* ClarisWorks creates a default 72 dpi resolution paint frame, even if the graphic came from a Paint document set for a higher resolution.
To paste paint graphics as one draw object instead of a paint frame, first paste the painting to the scrapbook. Then copy the image from the scrapbook and paste it into the Draw module. This will remove the Paint frame and allow the object to be resized like a Draw object. However, it will be a 72 dpi graphic, even if the Paint document was set for a higher resolution.
Note: Even if a paint document is set to a resolution greater than 72 dpi, the image will be pasted into a draw document as a 72 dpi bitmap. To return the graphic to a greater resolution, double click in the paint frame you pasted and choose Resolution & Depth from the Format menu to change the settings. It is not possible to paste a ClarisWorks Paint graphic with a resolution greater than 72 dpi into another program. Instead, Save As PICT.
