Business Computing Tips

By K&K Fainges kfainges@...

We have been covering INSERT commands the last couple of weeks. You
can read these at http://www.users.bigpond.com/sagatech/insert.html.

INSERT => OBJECT allows you to add excel tables, music, sound waves,
charts and a range of other things into your document. The type of
objects depends on the programs you have on your system. You can
either create a new object (which opens the other program and lets
you save it as normal but puts in to the document as well), or add in
one you have made before by clicking on the Create from File tab and
then hitting the browse button. This lets you search through your
hard-drive or a floppy or CD and chose something from there. Click on
the file you want to add and then hit insert.

Either way, you can display the item as an icon - put a picture in
that represents the thing you want to add. Then people can click on
the picture and bring up the full thing.

When adding from a file you already have, you can link it to the
file, so if you change the original, the copy you are putting in your
document changes too.
