Hyperlinking and Embedded or Linked Objects

You can embed OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) objects or links to OLE objects within a Word document. You can build a hyperlink from these objects by selecting the object and choosing Insert, Hyperlink from the menu. When the document is saved as a Web page, the icon representing the embedded object will be displayed and contain the hyperlink you added.

Caution

If the OLE object embedded in a Word document does not contain a hyperlink, when the document is saved as a Web page, only the icon will be seen when the Web page is displayed in a browser. The icon does not contain any functionality or links; it is only a graphic.
