Embedding an Object in a Map File

NOTES

This section provides directions for creating an embedded object icon from within the map interface. You can also create an embedded object by working directly in the external source application, copy the data to the clipboard, and paste it into the map. For directions on how to work from the source application before embedding the object data in your maps, refer to your Microsoft Windows documentation, or to the documentation for your OLE-supporting application.

For all directions on creating and saving a document in your source OLE application, refer to the appropriate documentation.

1.Open or activate (as appropriate) the map file into which you want to insert an embedded object.

2.Select Insert—>New Object from the primary window menu bar. The Insert Object window (Figure 6-31) opens.
