SYMPTOMS
When you drag a picture clipping from the Finder to a Word document, the
clipping may not appear.
Note that your ability to drag a clipping depends on two factors: the
version of the operating system and the size of the clipping.
Small Clippings with Mac OS 7.6 or 8.0
In most cases, you should be able to drag small clippings successfully to
Word documents in both Mac OS 7.6 or 8.0.
Large Clippings with Mac OS 7.6
To successfully drag a large clipping using Mac OS 7.6, the Word document
window must be active before you drag the clipping.
Large Clippings with Mac OS 8.0
You will be unable to drag a large clipping to a Word document if you are
using the Mac OS 8.0 operating system.
WORKAROUND
Do not use picture clippings to transfer large pictures to Word. Drag the
picture directly from the other program or document or insert the picture
directly from a file.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
