[Framers] Does FrameMaker Have Something Similar to Word's Embedded Files?

[Stefan Gentz]

Hi Sandra,

You might want to test this:

Create a FrameMaker document, place the insertion mark to where you want the text file to appear.
Now go to > File > Import > Object. In the "Insert Object" dialog, select "Create from File" and click "Browse..." to select your text file.
Activate the "Link" textbox, if you want to insert the object as a link instead of embedding it. Otherwise leave it unchecked (will embed the text file).

Once inserted, you can double click on it and it will open the application associated with your object (in your case the application that is associated with txt files, which is usalle Windows Notepad).

I have a Word document that I'd like to convert to Frame 12.
The Word document has embedded txt files that display as icons and only show the file content (in a separate window) when the icon is double-clicked.
Does FrameMaker have a similar feature?
