COMMAND IN WORD Pt7

Business Computing Tips

We have been covering INSERT commands the last couple of weeks. You can read these at http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/kfainges/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.
