SYMPTOMS
In Windows NT, when you are editing a 256-color bitmap (.BMP) file
that is Paste Linked into Ventura Publisher version 4.1, the following
error message may occur:
VPWIN caused an exception in the Win16Subsystem
This error message usually occurs immediately after you change the .BMP
picture, such as when you draw a line.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, select Paste Special (instead of Paste
Link) in Ventura Publisher and then select Paste Link from the dialog
box. The error message will not occur if this method is used.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1
and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
