= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 4.00, the “No Data Returned from Update/Edit Link” error message is a result of QuickSwitch returning to Word to paste in the updated information when there is nothing in the Clipboard to paste. This indicates a problem with the source application or an empty linked source application when you switched back to Word.

If the linked area in the source application contains information that you want transferred back to Word, try the Edit Link or Update Link operation again (hold down SHIFT and choose from the Edit menu), or use the Copy and Paste commands (on the Edit menu) to update the Word information.

For a complete list of possible error messages while using the Link commands, see the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 4.0 manual, Appendix C, pages 412-414.
