APPLIES TO
This article was previously published under Q184827
SYMPTOMS
When you try to create a "paste link" (a method for pasting information
from one document to another using Object Linking and Embedding, OLE)
between two Microsoft WordPad documents, you are unable to do so.
CAUSE
The ability to create a "paste link" requires an OLE server program.
Because WordPad is not an OLE server program, it does not support the
"paste link" functionality.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, do not try to create a paste link between two
Microsoft WordPad documents.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
