Hello
Remco,

eg. Excel and Word, where changes in one program will show up in the
other).
>> One of my colleagues thinks this is possible
This
feature is related to one of the COM technology called OLE Documents and it's
significant extension called ActiveX Document.
In
order for COM server (like Rose) to become linking or embedding server, there
must be a bunch of additional interfaces implemented
like
for example IOLEInPlaceObject, IOleInPlaceActiveObject or IOLELink (just to
mention a couple of them).
They
are not implemented as of yet, so you can not embed Rose documetns
(diagrams) within other OLE containers like Word.
>> Any suggestions?
Please, find attached the scrip. This scrip goes
through all Rose model diagrams and produces the picture files (EMF
format)
out of
them. Then you can create your Word document and insert those pictures using
Insert - > Picture -> From File
checking 'Link To File = Yes' and unchecking 'Save With
Document = No'.
You
would have to run the script always before opening the Word document. Because
picture files are linked to the document,
you
will always have the recently generated diagrams inside. You could also write
the Word macro covering the script's
functionality, so the new pictures are generated each
time you open the word document.
Just short question:
Did
you consider to use Rational's SoDA for Word ?

Subject: (ROSE) Object linking with Word
We are currently investigating the possibilities to link the various (Rose) diagrams of our projects in Word documents. Of course, just pasting the diagrams as pictures is an option, but what about more dynamic linking (like you can do between eg. Excel and Word, where changes in one program will show up in the other).
One of my colleagues thinks this is possible (or at least should be), but I have not seen this in any example/documentation yet (we are using Rose 2000e C++).
Any suggestions?
This leads to a question about documenting itself: do we want to cut-and-paste diagrams to Word documents or should we just textually refer to the diagrams to avoid update problems if dynamic linking is out of the question (I am in favour of the textual reference, also because I read a lot about it in Rational Rose's documentation, but others here say that this leads to too many different files and programs to use for one piece of documentation)?
Regards,
Remco
