14.4.2 Dynamic OLE menu commands
When you have an OLE object selected, there is a submenu on the Edit menu that provides commands
for the object. The name of this submenu reflects the type of the OLE object. The commands on the
submenu also vary according to the type of object.
The object may be described as a Document object, Bitmap Image object, Picture object, Worksheet
object, or something similarly descriptive:
• If the object is embedded, the Edit menu displays those commands that are available to that type
of embedded object.
• If the object is linked, the Edit menu displays commands for that type of linked object.
Commands on the context menus change in a similar fashion.
These dynamic commands are provided to give you more control when working with OLE objects.
14.4.3 OLE and the Insert Picture command
When the OLE Object command on the Insert menu is used to place pictures in a report, the picture
will be converted to an embedded or linked object associated with Microsoft Paint (or another image
editing application).
When the Picture command on the Insert menu is used to place pictures in a report, the Report Designer
converts them into static objects.
Static objects cannot be edited. To edit a static object, it has to be converted into an editable type of
object using the Convert command on the Edit menu.
14.4.3.1 OLE and the Insert Picture command

will be converted to an embedded or linked object associated with Microsoft Paint (or another image
editing application).
When the Picture command on the Insert menu is used to place pictures in a report, the Report Designer
