 * }

Q80306

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft WordArt, version 1.0

-

SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word for Windows version 2.0, if you copy an WordArt object to the Clipboard and then try to paste it into Windows Paintbrush, the Paste command will be unavailable.

CAUSE
This problem occurs because Windows Paintbrush can only accept graphics, and WordArt is in text format.

RESOLUTION
To paste a WordArt object into Paintbrush, convert the object to a graphic by pressing ALT+PRINT SCREEN while the WordArt object is being displayed on the screen in Word or WordArt. The screen is copied to the Clipboard in a graphics format, and you can then paste and edit the object in Paintbrush.
