SYMPTOMS

The first format entry in the Paste Special dialog box is blank after copying an OLE2Link object from an OLE 1.0 client to the clipboard.

NOTE: An OLE2Link object is created by the OLE 1.0 compatibility layer when an OLE 2.0 link is copied from an OLE 2.0 application to the clipboard, and then pasted into an OLE 1.0 client application.
