Word 2002 SP3 and Visio Pro 2002 SP2

[Gabby]

Why - why - why?

When I insert a drawing (a round circle with some text to the right of the circle) from Visio into Word (copy-paste of selected objects) the drawing is distorted (too wide) on my screen (1600x1200 pixels on a 4:3 ratio screen). The scaling in Size Object is Height=134 %, Width=184 %, even when the "Lock aspect ratio" is selected. The circle is not distorted, when I print the page.
If I insert the same circle but without any text on it, the circle is not distorted on the screen, the scaling is Height=133 %, Width=133 %, and the circle is still not distorted when I print the page.
Why is the drawing some times distorted on the screen?

You are far better off saving it from VISIO as an EMF and then loading
that.

Now the circle looks OK on the screen (the ratio is allways the same) but now the picture is disstorted when I print it (too narrow: w x h=64 x 68 mm).

If you send me a copy of the problem segment I'll have a look at it
for you. No ideas I'm sorry, other than trivial things like update
print drivers etc.
