= SUMMARY =

When running Word 5.00 under Windows 3.00 in standard or real mode, there is not a “clipboard” choice when enumerating the filename field of the Library Link Graphics command or as a glossary choice. This problem occurs because the test that Word performs to determine if Word is running under Windows will fail if Windows is in standard or real mode.

This problem does not occur when running Word under Windows version 3.00 in 386 enhanced mode.

As an alternative to importing an image in the clipboard to a Word document, do the following:


 * 1) Import the image into Paintbrush.
 * 2) Save the image from Paintbrush as a .PCX file.
 * 3) Link the .PCX file into a Word document.

Another alternative is to use the Clipsave utility to save the contents of the clipboard to a file that Word can link to.

This utility is available as an application note and can be obtained by contacting Microsoft Product Support Services at (425) 454-2030. This is an application note provided by the DOS Applications Group and is called “Windows Clipboard Save Utility Availability.”
