SUMMARY

In some cases, if you place an OLE graphic and another component within the same frame, Microsoft Word version 2.0 for Windows doesn't let you edit the graphic by double-clicking the OLE graphic.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. From the Insert menu, choose Picture, select a picture file, and choose the OK button.

  2. Select the picture. From the Insert menu, choose Frame.

  3. Leave frame selected. From the Insert menu, choose Object.

  4. Select MS WordArt, and choose the OK button.

  5. Type a word, and press the OK button to insert the WordArt into the same frame.

Sometimes you can edit the picture by double clicking it, sometimes you cannot.

Workaround

After completing the above steps, you can press the SPACEBAR to insert a space between the components. After you insert a space, you can double click either object and each takes you to its respective server application for editing.
