The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Publisher for Windows 95, versions 3.0
 - Microsoft Publisher for Windows, versions 2.0 and 2.0a
--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you save a document in Microsoft Word for Windows 95 or Microsoft
Word for Windows in Rich Text Format(RTF), any OLE objects that the
document contains will appear as blank frames if you open the RTF file in
Microsoft Publisher.

NOTE: This problem only occurs with OLE objects. Imported pictures import
correctly.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, open the RTF file in Microsoft Word and save
it as a Microsoft Word document. If you import the Microsoft Word document,
the OLE objects will import correctly.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Publisher
for Windows 95 and Microsoft Publisher for Windows. We are researching
this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
