Inserted Object......advice please....
I have inserted an object into a word document by browsing to it. I have
selected the option to display it as an icon. The icon appears on the document and works fine I have tried searching "Help" but it was unsuccessful. Questions:- 1. Inside the object box with the icon is the full path of the original file. How can I delete or rename it, I don't want the full path. ( I found in the "Edit" menu Label, but this dies not appear to do anything....if I change the label it doesn't have any visible effect).? 2. When I click on the object I get the warning dialogue "this file may contain a virus etc"....is the a way to configure the object to skip this warning as none of my files contain viruses and I would rather do away with this Warning message? Thanks Dermot |

1. right mouse click on the icon, select Document Option, Convert...
make sure Convert to... is selected and Microsoft Word Document is highlighted. Select the Change Icon... button and enter the required text in Caption then OK, OK. thats it. 2. check with your IT (Im assuming you're at work) you may not have access to change the security settings. cheers, Nadia "Dermot" wrote: I have inserted an object into a word document by browsing to it.

Hi Nadia,
Thanks for your reply. This is the method I found changed the caption following your instructions:- Rt click object icon | Package Object | Convert | Change Icon | Type Caption | OK |OK€¦.and it was done. I am not at work, it's my home computer am am using at the moment......I didn't see a reference to "Word" in the convert dialogue box......can you explain what you meant about seeing it and your reference to the system administrator... in this case that being me... I want to better understand all possible options. Also, Is there a way to drag and drop the inserted object icon anywhere I want on the document....at the moment it's position is wherever the cursor is. Drag on drop doesn't appear to be possible, I can only drag handles to resize the object window.

Hi Dermot,
What version of Word are you using?? and what virus software are you using? If using 2002/2003 try changing your security settings to low; Tools, Macro, Security. To move your icon; right mouse click, Format Object, Layout, In Front of Text, OK. It should drag anywhere on your document. We have a public holiday here tomorrow and I will be away. I will respond on Thursday if necessary. cheers, Nadia "Dermot" wrote: Hi Nadia, Thanks for your reply.

Hi Nadia,
I hope you had a good holiday. I am using Word 2002 and Norton internet security and Antivirus 2002. I did as you suggested and lowered the security....this now stop the warning message, when I open the objects I inserted into the document, thanks. Is there anything else you would recommend as good practice to follow regarding this topic?
