Why does printing a figure to Word 2000, using the emf format, result in text outside the axes getting cut off?

When printing a figure to Word 2000 using the emf file format, text that is more than the standard distance of the labels from the axes border gets cut off from the output. However, when I print this figure to a printer this does not occur.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

Text is getting cut off when printing to a Word 2000 file using an emf format because the figure borders of an emf file are wrapped closely around the axes and therefore cutting off lines of text that are far from the axes.

There are a couple of workarounds you may wish to try:

1. You can edit the figure once it has been printed to Word 2000 by double clicking on it.

Once the editor window is open, just move the outer figure borders around so that everything fits inside them.

2. You can change the Paper Position Mode to AUTO from the print options menu and then print the figure as a -djpeg to Word 2000.

You may also do this by typing the following command into the MATLAB Command Window:

set(gcf,'PaperPositionMode','Auto')
