SUMMARY
=======
 
When you choose the Add An Object squishy in Microsoft Bob Letter Writer,
and then select the Show Every Available Object check box, you see several
blank lines in the list of choices.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
The blank lines occur when an OLE application places information in the
Windows Registration Database that does not include a friendly name. Most
applications register a class name and a friendly name. When an entry does
not include a friendly name it is displayed as a blank line in the Add An
Object list. These blank lines are valid entries that you can ignore but
not remove the entries.
 
This problem does not apply in Windows 95, because Windows 95 does not use
the Reg.dat file.
