MACINTOSH

Summary:

In Microsoft Word versions 3.x, when text is selected and made into a graphic by pressing COMMAND+OPTION+D, the Clipboard may be empty when you switch to another program or to the Finder when running MultiFinder.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word versions 3.00, 3.01, and 3.02. This problem does not occur in version Microsoft Word version 4.00.

More Information:

To ensure that the graphic created by using COMMAND+OPTION+D is converted to the System Clipboard, which makes it available to other programs, do the following:


 * 1) After creating the graphic, paste it into a Word document.
 * 2) Select the graphic by clicking it and choose Cut from the Edit menu.

This procedure applies under MultiFinder and earlier versions of the Finder.
