### OLE Object

The OLE object embeds or links an object from another application into your template or form. For example, using this object you can insert an editable Microsoft Word file into your template or form, to provide special instructions to the operator.

Once you insert an OLE object, a dialog box titled Insert Object appears.

Insert Object dialog box

This dialog box allows you to select the type of OLE object from a list of objects that are currently available on your computer. The OLE objects in the list are unique to your individual computer depending on what is installed, etc.

If you select the Cancel button nothing is added to the form or template and the dialog closes.

Property | Description
DoVerbs | Setting this to Yes allows the object to be edited in Run mode as well as in Edit mode. If set to No the object is readonly in Run mode.
OLEProperties | This displays a properties dialog box that lets you choose general properties available to all OLE objects. Such as how the object is displayed (icon or not), its size, and so forth.
