SYMPTOMS
========

When you enable Enhanced Metafile (EMF) spooling in Windows 95, your program
does not wrap text around objects properly.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this situation, use one of the following methods:

- Disable EMF spooling with the following steps:

  1. Click the Start button.

  2. On the Settings menu, click Control Panel, then double-click the Printers
     icon.

  3. In the Printers folder, double-click the icon for your printer.

  4. Click the Printer menu, then click Properties.

  5. Click the Detail tab, and then click the Spool Settings button.

  6. Change the Spool Data Format from EMF to RAW.

- In Micrografx Designer 4.0, you can print one page at a time.

- Consult your software manufacturer about a possible software upgrade.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The Enhanced Metafile format allows Windows 95 to use a full 32-bit GDI
instruction set. When you print using the EMF spooling option, Windows 95
creates an EMF that contains a complete set of instructions that re-create the
image as printed output. This causes control of your computer to return more
quickly than under previous versions of Windows.
