I need to include a file into a document. I would like this OLE

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do.
Do you want the whole external file to appear in the document, or
do you want an icon in your document that will call up an
external file?
If it is the latter, could you not insert your preferred icon,
and then use Format - Picture - Hyperlink to open up the
external document, rather like hyperlinks on a web page?
Yes it's the latter. OLEs are embedded in the doc. But I don't want a
dependency on an external file. I want the file to be embedded in my
doc.
Thanks for the workaround but it does not alow me to embed external
files into my doc.
Sorry but I'm confused. On the one hand you say "Yes it's the latter"
meaning you want a hyperlink to open an external document but then you say
"But I don't want a dependency on an external file". These two statements
completely contradict each other.
How do you propose to incorporate an entire file into your document "as an
icon"? What conceivable technology could compress an entire file down to
icon size and then be able to expand it again when someone clicks on that
icon? If you are thinking of Windows thumbnails, they rely entirely on the
external file being there.
As I said, I'm confused. Please explain.
