Change the way a linked object or embedded object displays

You can display a linked object or embedded object in a document as it appears in the source program, if you plan to print the document; or as an icon, if you want to minimize the amount of space the object uses in the document or if you plan to view the document only online.

Display a linked object or embedded object as content or as an icon

1. Select the linked or embedded object you want to change.
2. On the Edit menu, point to object name Object (for example, Worksheet Object), and then click Convert.
3. Select how to display the object by doing one of the following:
   • To display the content, clear the Display as icon check box.
   • To display as an icon, select the Display as icon check box.

Change the icon or icon label that represents a linked object or embedded object

1. Select the icon you want to change.
2. On the Edit menu, point to object name Object (for example, Worksheet Object), and then click Convert.
3. Click Change Icon, and then click the icon you want.
4. Type the text for the label in the Caption box.

Note   If you chose Unformatted Text, Formatted Text (RTF), Picture, or Bitmap in the Paste Special dialog box, you can't change the way a linked object appears.
