Not when importing from MSO. Most of the problem that you see is the
result of MSO not properly anchoring and/or grouping the
graphics/objects. I can say this because I had to contend with this
feature whilst working at one of the local hospitals. I discovered that
if I anchor the graphics and export them back to MSO format they stayed
put. SO in summary, this is the result of having to reverse engineer a
proprietary format.

Nonetheless if you take a few minutes to group any line drawings and re-
anchoring them all will be well. As for wrapping, this does not seem to
import well and I have not found an automated way to set wrapping
universally. 

Hope this help some :-(
