Insert OLE Object

Unread post by matt harris »

Hi

Please can someone advise, when I insert a Word document as an OLE-Object, it only inserts the 1st page and is there a way of inserting the entire document


Thanks

Hi Matt,

That's not possible because of the way that OLE works. When an OLE object is inserted into your output it is converted into a bitmap image. That is the only way to get a true rendition of the original page. Because of this, you can only get what fits in an image on a single page. To get a full Word document you need to do a full conversion by saving it as RTF and then importing it into your Help & Manual project (with Import in the main menu).
