Microsoft Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)

Specification attachments are incorporated into documents generated by the Document wizard through Microsoft Word's OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) document standard.

This occurs when the Include in Documentation? check box is selected, which is available on the Application Profile landing page and on the specification form itself.

Supported file types are included in the Word document as follows:

• Industry standard image file types, such as .jpg, .gif, .png, and .bmp — Render as inline images.
• Portable Document Format (PDF) files — Embedded as OLE objects, if Adobe Acrobat is installed on your local system.
• Microsoft .rtf, .doc, and .docx files — Render as inline content. Original attachment formatting may not be exact, based on the styles applied by the template.
• Microsoft Office file types, such as .xls, .ppt, .vdx — Embedded as OLE objects, if the underlying Microsoft Office program is installed on your local system.
