--- Comment #17 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #16) > Say, you are a user who (a) does not know what OLE means, and (b) needs to > know if the files used to insert something into a main document may be > safely deleted. RTFM. (-: (or make a test using documents that can be lost without distress) Mike, please help us to find a way forward. As I understand, the ”E” in OLE stands for ”Embedded” – so contradictions abound before we even get started. You write as though you have some insight into this small (?) group of users who link OLE objects, as opposed to simply embedding OLE objects, which seems to be the "default" (most common case?) in the Insert > Ole Object dialog Do you really think such users would be ”tricked” by the word ”Embedded”, when they had to explicitly click ”link to file” to get this kind of embedding, and where there is documentation about this option (which I am happy to improve if you think it is inadequate). Would it be better to leave OLE-Object as a ”separate” (special) case, just as Image and Frame, where each gets their own dialog and toolbar title, and appears at the top level of the menu (i.e., not in a category, such as "Object" or Embedded Object")? (either way is fine with me) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
