SYMPTOMS

In programs that support OLE (such as Microsoft Office for Windows), the Paste-Link command is unavailable after you copy something in Paint.

CAUSE

Paint does not support this feature.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, create a link to a complete bitmap document. In Paint, save the bitmap image you want to link as a bitmap document, and then close Paint. Link the bitmap document in the other program as an object.
