The information in this article applies to:
 
- Microsoft Graph for Macintosh, version, 3.0 and 5.0
- Apple Macintosh System, version 7.0, 7.0.1, 7.1 and 7.1.2
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
In Microsoft Graph, if you create or import a chart in an application
such as Word for the Macintosh and you print the chart to a Quickdraw
printer, lines extend out of the pie pieces in a three-dimensional pie
chart when printing to a QuickDraw printer.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This occurs with a pie chart created in Word's Graph module and
formatted with the 3-D Pie Chart Gallery option 4, the All Slices
Exploded option. The problem most often occurs with pie charts that have
been resized disproportionately, so the width is greater than the
height.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Graph version
5.0 and earlier for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and
will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To correct the problem, reduce the width of the pie chart so it is
proportional to the height:
 
1. Click the graphic to select it.
 
2. Select the middle handle on the right edge of the graphic and drag it
   to the left (in Word 5.1, hold SHIFT before selecting and dragging
   the graphic handle).
