  We establish properties concerning the distribution of poles of Pad e
approximants, which are generic in Baire category sense. We also investigate
Pad e universal series, an analog of classical universal series, where Taylor
partial sums are replaced with Pad e approximants. In particular, we complement
previous studies on this subject by exhibiting dense or closed infi nite
dimensional linear subspaces of analytic functions in a simply connected domain
of the complex plane, containing the origin, whose all non zero elements are
made of Pad e universal series. We also show how Pad e universal series can be
built from classical universal series with large Ostrowski-gaps.
