DDE Text Links in Connect Edition U5

I tried to do a DDE Link in CE Update 5 and was unable to do it using the actions I have used in the past.

I had an Excel file open. Selected an area containing text. Copied that information to the Windows Clipboard (Ctrl+C). In M-Sta. I went to the Selection Area and used the Paste Special, Selected the Linked Text to Design. and there was no option to place as a linked text element in M-Sta. I could create linked to areas of Excel file (Like OLE), but could not place the information as Linked Text.

If the DDE Link was in the file from V8i, it looks & acts as expected in CE, but you can’t add new DDE Linked Text in CE U5. ????? Known
