REFERENCE
161
Object links are references to existing sound files on your hard disk or network
server. If you embed an object link to a sound file in a document, the sound
file is not actually inserted into the document, just a reference. Therefore, if
you copy the document to another computer, any sound file(s) that are
embedded will not be available on the other computer unless the sound file is
stored on a common network server.
If you intend to share documents between computers that contain embedded
sound files, it is suggested that you store all sound files on a network server and
embed them using Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path names. For example, if
your server and share name for sound files is \\myserver\sounds, then open
and embed all sound files using the UNC path (i.e., \\myserver\sounds\
<directory and file name >).
In Windows 9x, UNC path names are extremely simple to use. Instead of using
a drive letter when browsing in the Open dialog, select Network Neighborhood in
the Look in field and browse to the appropriate network server and share
containing your sound files. This method of browsing uses UNC names
exclusively.
For more information on Copy Object Link, and OLE support in general, refer to
Appendix F: Object Linking and Embedding.
PASTE
Use this command to insert a copy of the clipboard contents at the current
insertion point. If there is a selection made, the Paste command deletes the
selected data before inserting.
This command has no effect if the clipboard is empty.
Pasting into a stereo file will insert data to both channels since the channels in
a stereo file must always be equal in length.
Pasting data of different sample rates will cause the data in the clipboard to
play at the same rate as the rate of the window in which the data is pasted.
Shortcut:
Control+V
Shift+Insert
Drag and drop a selection to another data window + Alt
