SUMMARY
=======

When you paste text formatted in Microsoft Windows Write into Microsoft Windows
Paintbrush, you lose your special formats (underlining, italics, and
superscripts).

MORE INFORMATION
================

Paintbrush cannot accept Write-formatted text characters from the Clipboard
without stripping the formatting. Text pasted from Write into Paintbrush is
converted automatically into the current Paintbrush text-format settings, as
specified in the Font and Style menus.

Many of the Write text-format selections can be duplicated in the Paintbrush
environment. Other formats, such as superscript and subscript, are not available
in Paintbrush.
