= SUMMARY =

If you copy a selection in SuperPaint, Microsoft Excel, or Claris MacDraw, and attempt to paste the information into Microsoft Word version 4.00 with the Paste Link command (Edit menu), the message “No link information in clipboard” may appear. This message could mean one of the following things:


 * 1) A version earlier than SuperPaint 1.1MS is being used. Earlier versions of SuperPaint do not support QuickSwitch.
 * 2) A selection from an untitled (unsaved) SuperPaint graphic was copied. The file being copied from must be saved.
 * 3) Excel version 1.00, 1.03, 1.04, or 1.06 is being used. Only Excel versions 1.50 and later post link information in the Clipboard. With earlier versions of Excel, the identifier paragraph must be typed in.
 * 4) MacDraw versions 1.x are being used. With MacDraw, the identifier paragraph must be typed in because MacDraw does not post this information in the Clipboard. (MacDraw II does not support QuickSwitch at all.)
