SYMPTOMS

Error! Not a valid embedded object.

CAUSE
In Microsoft Paintbrush, you have the Omit Picture Format command turned on.

WORKAROUND
On the MS Paintbrush Options menu, clear (by choosing) the Omit Picture Format command.

MORE INFORMATION
To create embedded objects, a server application must make the Picture format available, along with the OwnerLink format. When you select the Omit Picture Format in Microsoft Paintbrush, and then copy the image to the Clipboard, the Picture (CF_Metafile) format is not included with the object in the Clipboard.
