Axes offset when copying

I have a figure that looks fine before copying. It has two sets of axes on top of one another, one which is just there to have a second set of ytick labels. The problem is that when I copy and paste this figure into a word document, the axes offset just a little bit. The ticks don't line up, and there is a second x-axis line below the original one. Any ideas?

Do not copy&paste, but print -eps.

[EDITED] Example code:

print(FigHandle, '-depsc2', '-r300', '-tiff', '-loose', EPSFile);

When you insert this in MS Word, the display on the screen shows the TIFF preview only. But when you print it to paper or to a PDF the vector graphics are inserted, which looks very nice even in very high resolution.

Thanks for this, but when I use the command ("print -deps" I assume) it gives a warning that:

Files produced by the 'eps' driver cannot be sent to printer. File saved to disk under name 'figure1.eps'.

Copying and pasting this file into MS Word works, but it comes out black and white and not looking good.

I do not understand how you copy&paste an EPS file. Simply insert the file from the menu in MS Word. See [Edited].
