Inserting objects into Word from other applications
To insert objects created by other applications into a Microsoft Word XP document, there is a set of commands combined in the Insert command menu (Figure 1).
In this case, you can insert parts of the document created directly in the Microsoft Word XP editor (breaks, auto-text, captions, tables of contents and indexes, links, page numbers, etc.) or prepared in other applications.
Such applications include editors for writing formulas (Microsoft Equation), for artistic design of texts (WordArd), for creating illustrations (Printbush) and many others.
The description of the rules for creating objects is given in the corresponding sections of the help system of these applications. All of them are inserted in the same way: you select the "Insert" command, then the "Object" command and then the command specifying the type of object.
Many elements of the document can be inserted using the "Picture" and "File" commands from the "Insert" menu. For more convenient work it is desirable to customize MS Word.
Another option of inserting an object from applications is copying it to the Clipboard. To place an object in the Clipboard, it is enough to give a command that places the object in the clipboard while working with the application.
For many applications, this is the "Copy" command. In Clipboard you can also place a copy of the image on the monitor screen by pressing the "Print Screen" key (sometimes "F12").
If an object is copied in Clipboard, you can transfer it to the document using the "Edit" - "Paste" or "Edit" - "Special Paste" commands
