Cannot Insert Harvard Graphics Slide into WordPad

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you try to insert a Harvard Graphics version 2.0 for Windows slide into a WordPad document, you receive the following error message:

   Hgw2exe

   An error has occurred in your program. To keep working anyway,
   click Ignore and save your work in a new file. To quit this program,
   click Close. You will lose information you entered since your last
   save.

   This application has performed an illegal operation and will shut
   down. If the problem persists contact the program vendor.

CAUSE

This error occurs only if you try to insert a slide from Harvard Graphics into a WordPad document without first starting Harvard Graphics.

RESOLUTION

Start the Harvard Graphics 2.0 for Windows program before you try to insert a Harvard Graphics slide into a WordPad document.

MORE INFORMATION

Similar problems may occur when you try to insert a Harvard Graphics slide into a Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows document or Microsoft Excel version 5.0 for Windows spreadsheet. Even with Harvard Graphics open, however, you cannot insert a Harvard Graphics slide directly into these applications. You must copy the slide onto the Windows 95 Clipboard and then paste it into Word or Microsoft Excel.
