The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,
   2.0c
 - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
You copied a selection from a Word for Windows document to the Windows
Clipboard and then exited Word, but you cannot link or embed the
selection in the client application.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
Word must be running if you want to link or embed a Word selection
using the Clipboard.
 
When you exit Word, Word removes the three OLE server formats (Native,
ObjectLink, and OwnerLink) from the Clipboard. The only formats that
remain are the standard formats (such as RTF, text, picture, and
bitmap), and these formats do not support OLE.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
After you copy a selection to the Clipboard, leave Word running while
you link or embed the selection in the client application.
