Creating an embedded object

You can create documents from within FileCabinet CS from any application that supports Active Document Interface, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

     dialog, select the drawer ID for the drawer (or choose
    <Select multiple drawers>
    ) that contains the folders in which you will store the embedded object.

    Object type
     pane, choose the type for the object. This list includes all applications that are installed on your computer and support Active Document Interface.
