Editing OLE objects

When you edit an OLE object, the application that it is associated with is opened. You can either edit the OLE object in the application that is associated with the OLE object, or in the module window.

Procedure

  1. Double-click the attribute that contains the OLE object that you want to edit, and select the OLE object. The Edit menu is updated to include a menu item for the OLE object that you selected.
  2. Click Edit, click the OLE object item, and then click either Edit or Open.
    • Click Edit to edit the OLE object in the module window. The menus and toolbars of the application that is associated with the OLE object replace the Rational® DOORS® menus and toolbars. To deactivate the OLE object, click another Rational DOORS object.
    • Click Open to open the application that is associated with the OLE object in a new window, and edit the OLE object in that window. When you finish, save and close the file. The OLE object in Rational DOORS is updated with your changes.
    Note: You can edit OLE objects created in Microsoft Excel only in a Microsoft Excel window. You cannot edit them in the module window.
