The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,
   2.0c
 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

SYMPTOMS
========

In a Word for Windows document, if you insert a framed, bordered EPS
graphic created in MicroGrafx Designer version 3.1 and print it on a
PostScript printer, the border on the image may be cropped.

CAUSE
=====

You formatted the frame for Auto size or Exactly the dimensions of the
graphic (Height and Width settings). It does not happen if you use the
At Least frame size setting, if your framed EPS image does not have a
border, or if you print on a non-PostScript printer.

WORKAROUND
==========

Instead of using the Auto frame size setting in the Format Frame
dialog box, use the Exactly setting and select Height and Width
settings that are slightly larger than the bordered EPS image. Any
cropping that occurs when you print on a PostScript printer does not
affect the appearance of the graphic.
