As far as I know, OLE requires not only that the originating application 
be installed on every machine that will use the file, but that it's the 
same version of the tool and is installed in a directory of the same 
name in the same relation to the FrameMaker installation. It's an 
unreasonably tall order unless you have a *very* methodical (and
dictatorial...) IT department, which is why it is so risky to use OLE 
embedding rather than simple file linking.
