Paintbrush Err Msg: Only Text Is Available on Clipboard..."

ID: Q84911

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

When you attempt to paste text into Paintbrush while in Zoom Out mode, the following message is displayed:

Only Text is available on the Clipboard.

To paste text, use the Zoom Out command, select the Text tool and the positions for pasting, and then select the Paste command.

This information is incorrect. The second paragraph should read:

To paste text, use the Zoom In command, select the Text tool and the positions for pasting, and then select the Paste command.

MORE INFORMATION

You can paste graphic images into Paintbrush in both Zoom In and Zoom Out mode. However, you can only paste text in Zoom In mode.
