Inserting OLE objects

You can insert blank OLE objects, or OLE objects from your file system.

Before you begin

To insert an OLE object into an attribute, you must have modify access to the attribute.

Procedure

  1. Double-click the attribute where you want to insert the OLE object.
  2. Click Insert > OLE Object.
  3. Select the options that you want. Information about the available options is displayed in the Result panel when you make a selection.
  4. Click OK.

What to do next

If the OLE object is too large, you can resize it to fit the column. You can either resize the OLE objects in the current object, or in all the objects.

The OLE objects are resized to fit the column.

To reset the OLE objects to their original size, click Tools > Support Tools, and then either Reset OLE Size In Current Object or Reset OLE Size In All Objects.
