= SYMPTOM =

The wrong text appears in the destination of an OLE link.

= CAUSE =

The problem occurs if the paste-linked text was originally copied from a header or footer of a multiple-section document while in Normal view. Instead of creating a link to the correct header or footer, Word creates a link to the text found in the first section’s footer.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 5.0 for the Macintosh. This problem was corrected in Word 5.1.

= WORKAROUND =

To paste link the desired header or footer, choose Page Layout from the View menu before copying the text.
