Draw: Imported Equation is Poorly Positioned in Draw

 Last reviewed: September 9, 1996
Article ID: Q79693
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Equation Editor version 1.0
  • Microsoft Draw version 1.0

SUMMARY

If you paste an equation that was created in Microsoft Equation Editor into a Microsoft Draw version 1.0 file, the text may be positioned poorly. Frequently, the equation is crowded into the upper left-hand corner of the Draw file.

Note: If you paste the same equation into PowerPoint for Windows, it displays correctly.

MORE INFORMATION

The metafiles created by Equation Editor can use the TA_UPDATECP function for text, which allows the text to be drawn at the last pen position; however, Microsoft Draw does not currently support this feature of graphics device interface (GDI).

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
