SYMPTOMS
========
 
When text is copied from a Works Word Processor document, the text may wrap
incorrectly after it is pasted into either the Draw layer or into a Draw
document.
 
The text may wrap in a single column of letters going down the Draw
layer/document.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This problem will occur when the indent markers have been adjusted in the
originally copied text.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
To correct this problem:
 
1. Highlight the text and choose Copy from the Edit menu.
 
2. Open a new Word Processor document and activate the Draw layer by
   choosing any of the drawing tools on the Tool palette.
 
3. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.
 
4. From the Tool Palette, select the Text tool (capital A).
 
5. Click the pasted text to get an insertion point.
 
6. Highlight all the text.
 
7. On the ruler, move the indents to the correct location.
 
8. Once the text is wrapping correctly, choose the Selection tool (the
   arrow) on the Tool palette.
 
9. Click the text object and choose Copy from the Edit menu.
 
The text will now paste correctly.
