You can embed a new object into an IBMŸLotus NotesŸ document. When you create a new object, Lotus Notes opens a blank work file in the application you select so you can enter data. When you save the data, it is saved as an object in Lotus Notes (instead of as a separate file).

If you select a source application that supports OLE 2.0, Lotus Notes opens the blank work file directly in Lotus Notes.

Procedure

1. With the document in Edit mode, click where you want the object to appear.

2. Click Create -> Objects.

3. Select Object.

4. Select an object type that corresponds to the application you want to use.

5. Optional: Click Display as icon to display an icon instead of the embedded data.

• If you display the data as an icon, you can edit "out of place," meaning the source application opens when you want to edit.
• If you don't display the data as an icon, and the source application supports it, you can edit "in-place," meaning the application opens right there in the Lotus Notes document.

• If the source application supports "in-place" editing, Lotus Notes launches the source application in the document (as long as you didn't choose to display the data as an icon).
• If the application does not support "in-place" editing, the application is launched separately.

8. If the object was launched:

• "Out-of-place," Click File -> Exit & Return to Notes (or the application's command equivalent).
• "In-place," click anywhere in the document outside the new object.
