= SUMMARY =

In the Microsoft Bob Letter Writer, if you highlight an OLE object and choose Undo, the object is removed. This behavior also occurs when you change an OLE object in a document and then use the Undo option.

The Undo feature in Bob is limited in that it will only undo the creation of objects. It cannot undo changes made to an OLE object by an OLE Server.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Start the Bob Letter Writer.
 * 2) Click the Create A New Letter squishy and name the letter Test.
 * 3) Click the I Just Want To Start Typing squishy.
 * 4) Click the Add An Object squishy, and click the MS Bob picture.
 * 5) Click a picture and choose the button with the check mark.
 * 6) Click the picture in the document and click Change Look.
 * 7) Click a different picture and click the button with the check mark.
 * 8) Click the Undo squishy.

The OLE object is now removed.
