2. With the mouse, drag a frame with the desired position and size in the document.
Alternatively, click where you want the upper left corner of the object to be
placed. The object will be inserted in its original size.
3. A dialog box appears and presents an Object Type list. Select the Object Type
corresponding to the application from which TextMaker is to obtain the OLE
object.
4. Confirm with OK to start the application for the selected object type.
5. Create the object in this application.
6. Exit the application.
7. When closing, the application might ask you whether you want to update the
object in the TextMaker document. If it does, answer “Yes”.
The OLE object is now inserted.
No special action is required to insert the frame on top of existing body text – the
text is automatically reformatted so that it flows around the frame.
Instead of creating a new object for insertion into the frame, you can use an object
that already exists in a file. You do this at step 3 in the above described procedure
by selecting the Create from File option and then specifying the file to be linked
in, rather than by selecting an object type.
You will find additional information about working with OLE objects in the
chapter “OLE objects” beginning on page 219.
Changing the properties of OLE object frames
To modify the properties of an OLE object frame, first select the frame with a
mouse click. Then invoke the Object > Properties command to bring up the
associated dialog.
The following settings can be made in this dialog:
