PUB: Pattern-Filled Object Prints Badly When Pasted as Picture

CAUSE

Publisher patterns are made of bitmap tiles. When you print these tiles to a 300 dpi or higher resolution printer, Publisher automatically increases the size of these tiles to make them print well at high resolutions. If you paste a Publisher object as a picture, Publisher does not know what kind of fills are in that picture and therefore can't scale the tiles when the object is printed.

NOTE: If you copy a Word Art frame and paste it as a picture, WordArt puts special comments in the picture to tell what kind of fill patterns it contains. Therefore, Publisher can correctly scale the tiles when it prints this type of object.
