- Microsoft Windows Productivity Pack, version 3.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you run the Copy And Paste demonstration in the Sharing Information Between
Documents lesson in the Working With Applications section of the Microsoft
Productivity Pack for Windows, the Notepad application becomes a minimized icon.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

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

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------

1. Start the Microsoft Productivity Pack for Windows.

2. Choose the Tutorial button.

3. Choose the Working With Applications button.

4. Choose the Sharing Information Between Documents button.

5. Choose the Go To button and then choose the Next Section button. Note that
  Notepad opens in the background and displays the SPEECH.TXT file.

6. Choose the Go To button and then choose Next Section. Note that Cardfile
  opens in the background and displays the ADDRESS.CRD file, the Cleopatra-like
  image is in the foreground, and that Notepad is minimized to an icon. If you
  click the Notepad icon, you receive a message stating:

  Click the Next button [->] to go on, or click the Go To button to see the
  Go To menu.

Expected Behavior
-----------------

When you choose the Next Section button in step 6, you expect Notepad and
Cardfile to be tiled in the background with the Cleopatra-like image in the
foreground. Two buttons, Go To and [->], should be available. When you choose
the [->] button, the tutorial should continue.
