WordPad Text Inserted as Object in Other Programs (131085)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q131085 SYMPTOMS
When you drag text from WordPad to Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows,
the text is inserted as an object in Word. The text may not be visible in
the object the first time you drag it to Word, but it is visible if you
drag the text to Word again. If the text is not visible, double-clicking
the object causes the text to appear and become editable.
RESOLUTION
Instead of dragging the text from WordPad to Word, copy the text in
WordPad using the Copy command on the Edit menu. Then, paste the text
into Word using the Paste command on the Edit menu in Word.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
