Using the Object Commands

The Object command in the Edit menu is only available when an OLE
object is selected. It changes according to the selected object. The
commands in its cascading menu change as well. This section describes
each command.
Open
Choose Open in the Object cascading menu to view a selected OLE object
in its source application.
• Linked objects and objects displayed as icons open in the source
application. Choose Exit in the File menu when you are done.
• Unlinked objects not displayed as icons open in the window in
which you created them. Click outside this window when you
are done.
Edit
Choose Edit in the Object cascading menu to edit a selected OLE object
in its source application or in the OLE window in which it was created.
Alternatively, double-click the OLE object to open it.
• Linked objects and objects displayed as icons open in the source
application. Edit the object and choose Exit in the File menu
when you are done.
• Unlinked objects not displayed as icons open in the window in
which you created them. Edit the object and click outside the
window when you are done.
Convert...
Use the Convert... command to convert a selected OLE object to another
type of object or to an icon, to choose a different icon, or to rename an
icon.
1 Select the object and choose Convert... in the Object cascading
menu.
The Convert dialog box appears.
2 Select an option in the Object Type list box.
The available options depend on the selected object. There may
be no available options.
3 Select Display As Icon if you want to display the object as an
icon, rather than displaying its actual content.
