I see I've got no response to my previous OLE posting (probably shouldn't have posted it under administration).  The only way I'm having success right now pasting anything to my drawings is to take my word and excel programs and export them to PDFs,  then use Windows 7 Snip to make Jpeg screenshots THEN embed them into the drawings where they all are seperately linked files that have to be sent along with my root drawing if I am e-mailing it to a client. 

Is the standard cut and paste that I mentioned in my previous post just not available right now??
