How Links Are Stored

When you establish a link between a ProcessBook display and a source
file, the link is stored in two ways, the relative path for the link, and the
absolute path for the link. The relative path is the relationship between the
location of the source file and the location of the target file in the directory
tree. The absolute path includes the drive, directory, and file name of the
source file.

Select a New Source Link

When you move a ProcessBook or display that contains links to source
files, if both the absolute and the relative paths change, you need to
reestablish the links.

To reestablish these links:

1. Open the display.

2. In Build mode, click Edit > Links. The Links dialog box appears.

3. Click Change Source. The Change Source dialog box appears.

Edit the Appearance of an OLE Object

Once an OLE object appears in a display, you can resize it, move it around
on the display, or copy it. There are, however, a few differences in how
OLE objects respond to ProcessBook commands, compared to native
objects such as symbols.

Although you must be in Build mode to insert an OLE object or edit links,
you can edit OLE objects from either Run mode or Build mode. When you
select an OLE object, switching modes does not cancel the selection.
