Pasting Text into Windows Paintbrush (83295)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q83295 SUMMARY
When transferring formatted text from Windows 3.1 Write to Paintbrush,
the text will not retain its formatting (that is, italic, bold, and so
on). Rather, it will take on the currently selected text attributes in
Paintbrush (in the Text, Fonts menu). Paintbrush does not support
superscript or subscript.
When pasting text in Paintbrush, the text tool must be chosen, and the
cursor placed on the screen; an attempt to paste when a different tool
is selected results in the following error message:
Only Text is available on the Clipboard. To paste text, first
select the position for pasting text, and then use the Paste
command.
Text cannot be pasted into Paintbrush in Windows 3.0; the paste
command is unavailable (dimmed).
