OOPS!

[Masters, Gary E]

In my Outlook (97) and when I cut and pasted into Word Pad, it showed as a
circle, triangle square graphic.  
I thought that was enough of a test.  It was a list from Current Contents to
describe one of their new products.  

I went back and read my message (usually I don't since I know what I said.)
and it did not show the graphic either.   Ouch!

But it seems that when we cut and paste some graphics and tables from the
web into an Outlook message that the regular paste feature transforms it
into that graphic.

I have no idea why.

Not much else to tell, but I appreciate your response.

Thanks!


Gary

	Hello Gary,

	I didn't see anything in the message that you pasted, except for a
blank
	space.  ???  Can you tell me more?  --Jana Ronan, jronan at ufl.edu

	I asked about this several months ago and did not ever work out a
solution -
	despite many who tried to help.

	When we copy web text (mostly HTML) into Outlook to send to people
the
	graphics often come out as this:



	when they start out as something else.  I think this is Outlook's
way to
	display what has some how been "messed up."

	Is there a solution?  Perhaps a "special paste?"  Device independent
bitmap?

	Also, when we copy HTML where links are from numbers to paragraphs
below,
	the links do not survive.  I think this is also a special paste
situation,
	but don't know which one to select.  I will test a few solutions,
but I was
	wondering what others have done.

	Thanks,
