Rational DOORS displays only the first page in the OLE visualization of a Microsoft Word document

Troubleshooting


Problem

When a Microsoft Word document containing more than one page is added as an OLE to an IBM Rational DOORS module, then DOORS displays only the first page of the Microsoft Word document.

Symptom

You need to print a DOORS Module and include all pages of a multi-page OLE.

Steps to reproduce:

The following steps replicate the same behavior in Microsoft Word:

  1. Open Microsoft Word
  2. Click Insert >Object
  3. Select "Create from File"
  4. Browse to the document file
  5. Click OK

In Microsoft Word the OLE displays only the first page of the object. However, when you double-click on the inserted OLE Object, it activates and shows all pages associated with that object.
