Finding OLE Objects

[Donald M Rinderknecht]

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

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.

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.
