WD: Word Changes Hairlines to 1 Point Lines When Editing GraphicLast reviewed: February 2, 1998Article ID: Q93052 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSIf you edit a non-PostScript graphic using the Picture command in Word for the Macintosh, the Picture command changes all lines that are less than 1 point (such as hairlines) to 1 point.
CAUSEThis behavior occurs because the Picture command does not support line widths less than 1 point.
MORE INFORMATIONFor example, if you paste a graphic image from MacDraw II or MacDraw Pro in a Word document, hairline or .5 point width lines appear correctly. If you then edit the graphic in Word by double-clicking the image, Word changes the hairline and .5-point width lines to 1 point lines. If you created your graphic image in a program that embeds PostScript code in the graphic (such Adobe Illustrator or Aldus FreeHand), Word retains lines less than 1 point wide when you edit the image using the Picture command.
