SYMPTOMS
If you drag more than one Scrap object onto a publication at the same time, you will receive the following error:

Publisher cannot locate the file, C:\Windows\Desktop\Scrap.shs. Check to make sure that you typed the correct path and filename, and that the floppy disk is inserted correctly; then try again.

After you click OK, you receive a second message:

Publisher cannot complete the operation.



CAUSE
Publisher is unable to insert multiple Scrap objects into a publication at the same time.



RESOLUTION
Drag only one Scrap object at a time into Microsoft Publisher.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
If you drag an OLE object from a publication and drop it on the Windows 95 desktop, it will become a Scrap object. You can then drag that Scrap object into another publication (or an open document from another program) to duplicate that OLE object.
