SUMMARY
=======
 
In the Microsoft Bob Letter Writer, if you highlight an OLE object and
choose Undo, the object is removed. This behavior also occurs when you
change an OLE object in a document and then use the Undo option.
 
The Undo feature in Bob is limited in that it will only undo the
creation of objects. It cannot undo changes made to an OLE object by
an OLE Server.
