SYMPTOMS
When you drag a scrap to the title bar for a document in WordPad and then save the changes to the document when you are prompted, the document text may be displayed as random or unintelligible characters.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the WordPad title bar does not support OLE drag-and-drop operations.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, do not drag a scrap to the title bar for an open WordPad document. Instead, drag the scrap to a blank document.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
A scrap is a file that is created when you drag part of a document to the desktop.
