Does anyone know how to get an embedded document out of the MS Office Lib template? I have a MS Word Document which I can edit and print nicely but how do I email it or save a copy to give to some who doesn’t have notes? I hope the solution isn’t “Exporting to an rtf” file. This is a really lame solution if you can import (ie. migrate) in your files but then never get them out. I hope I’m wrong here.

1st way: Do search in ND 4 & 5 forum
2nd way
Create a view in MS Office library DB with form formula “Document”
Open document from that view
rightclick on OLE object and choose “Open” - now it is opened in associated application from which you can do “File - Send to - mail recipient (as attachment)”
3rd way
Look into designer help: Working with attachments and embedded objects in LotusScript classes

Thanks for the feedback, sorry about the double post. If I understand correctly there is no out of the box method to get an embedded MS office object out of the MS office db. One of the comments in the R5 forum was to use the OLE save-as. However that is no longer there in R6. I guess to add the view is the best option but that is one more maintence hassel when we upgrade templates. Thanks again
