= SUMMARY =

If text formatted as Reverse Type (White On Black) is copied from Aldus PageMaker for the Macintosh and pasted into Microsoft Word 4.0 for the Macintosh, it transfers as plain text. This occurs because when the text is copied to the Clipboard, PageMaker includes with the text some PICT information about the selection. Since the object is not a standard PICT image, Word interprets only the text information.

To work around this problem, paste the image into a graphics program and save it as a regular PICT image. Then copy the image from the graphics program and paste it into Word.
