SUMMARY

When you paste text formatted in Microsoft Windows Write into Microsoft Windows Paintbrush, you lose your special formats (underlining, italics, and superscripts).

MORE INFORMATION

Paintbrush cannot accept Write-formatted text characters from the Clipboard without stripping the formatting. Text pasted from Write into Paintbrush is converted automatically into the current Paintbrush text-format settings, as specified in the Font and Style menus.

Many of the Write text-format selections can be duplicated in the Paintbrush environment. Other formats, such as superscript and subscript, are not available in Paintbrush.
