SYMPTOMS
========

When you drag text from WordPad to Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows, the
text is inserted as an object in Word. The text may not be visible in the object
the first time you drag it to Word, but it is visible if you drag the text to
Word again. If the text is not visible, double-clicking the object causes the
text to appear and become editable.

RESOLUTION
==========

Instead of dragging the text from WordPad to Word, copy the text in WordPad
using the Copy command on the Edit menu. Then, paste the text into Word using
the Paste command on the Edit menu in Word.

STATUS
======

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