SYMPTOMS
When you copy and paste a WordArt image as a picture (enhanced metafile) (on the Edit menu, click Paste Special) and then edit the picture with Word as the picture editor, the WordArt image fill becomes a separate background or foreground covering the text of the WordArt image.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use a different picture editor to edit the enhanced metafile image. For example, use Microsoft Photo Editor as your picture editor in Word.

To use a different picture editor in Word, follow these steps:
 * 1) In Word, click Options on the Tools menu.
 * 2) On the Edit tab, click the arrow in the Picture editor box.

NOTE: If Microsoft Photo Editor does not appear in the Picture Editor box, rerun the Setup program and install Microsoft Photo Editor.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
