SYMPTOMS
Windows version 3.1's Write (WRITE.EXE) program displays the following error message when you use the PRINT SCREEN key to copy an image to the Clipboard from a high-resolution MS-DOS- or a Windows-based application, and paste the image into Write:

Problem with Object/Link

This error message appears either when you try to save the file after pasting the graphic image, or when you attempt to print the document after saving it.

WORKAROUND

 * 1) Run a high-resolution MS-DOS-based or Windows-based application.
 * 2) Press the PRINT SCREEN key to capture the image into Clipboard.
 * 3) Run Windows Paintbrush.
 * 4) From the Edit menu, choose Paste.
 * 5) From the File menu, choose Save. Save the graphic image as a .BMP file.
 * 6) Use the Pick tool and mark the graphic image.
 * 7) From the Edit menu, choose Copy.
 * 8) Run WRITE.EXE.
 * 9) From the Edit menu, choose Paste.

NOTE: This workaround may not work all of the time.

As an alternative workaround, run Windows in a lower resolution.
