It works both ways for me although I've never pasted into the AW paint 
program.  You can click once on a shapes box to select it, then go to 
Edit and choose copy, then go to AppleWorks and paste it into a word 
processing document or a drawing document.  Most of the computers in my 
room don't have enough RAM to run MW Pro, so we use MW 2.05 on those 
older computers.  In version 2 you can't rotate shapes except by 90 
degree increments.  So my students copy the MW shape and paste it into 
AW draw where it can be rotated at any angle.  Then the graphic can be 
copied from AW and pasted back into a MW shapes box.  This way my 
students can do an animation with an airplane take off or land at a 
more reasonable 20 or 30 degree angle  rather than 90 degrees.
