How can I embed part of a file into a document?

About this task

You can embed part of a file from another application into an IBM® Notes® document. If the application has OLE 2.0 technology you can drag and drop the data into Notes.

Procedure

  1. In the application, select the data you want to embed.
  2. Copy it to the clipboard.
  3. In Notes, open the target document in Edit mode.
  4. Click in a rich-text field where you want the object to appear.
  5. Click Edit > Paste Special.
  6. Click Paste. Paste Special dialog box
  7. In the As: box, select the source you copied the data from (for example, if you copied data from 1-2-3 for Windows, select 1-2-3 Workbook).
  8. (Optional) Click Display as icon to display the data as an icon.
  9. Click OK.
    Note: If you create an embedded object whose source application allows embedding, you can embed additional objects in the original object. This is called compound embedding.
