Re: Finding OLE Objects
Hi Richard, Thanks for the info... Right, LOR... that's what I was thinking when I typed LOF... I hadn't thought of using the LOR that way before, but it's a good idea. In my initial look, I found some graphics that appeared to have been made with the graphic tools, but I don't think those would be OLEs... perhaps they were made elsewhere and copied into the doc. I'll keep investigating. Thanks, Don Combs, Richard wrote: Donald M Rinderknecht wrote: I'm using FM 8 for this file... forgot to mention that, but the Edit > Links doesn't show anything.

If the Links dialog doesn't show anything, that means whoever imported the OLE objects simply embedded them in the doc instead of linking to a file. A really, really bad idea, IMHO. LOF won't help -- you simply define which paragraphs it includes. What can help is a List of References. Select Imported Graphics to include. Then use the LOR as a graphic eliminator as you page through the book. When you get to a graphic that's not listed in the LOR, it's either an embedded graphic or an OLE object. HTH! Richard G.
