= SUMMARY =

If you copy a pie chart (type #6) from Excel versions 1.0x or 1.50 and use the Paste Link command to paste the pie chart into a Word version 4.00 document, the identifier paragraph incorrectly refers to a worksheet instead of a chart. Therefore, if you then try to use the Edit Link or Update Link command, you will get the following error message:

The Quick Switch file is of the wrong type

This problem does not occur with Excel version 2.20.
