<para>The applications which make up &koffice; are capable of a fine degree of integration between each other.</para>
|
|
<note><para>Because the actual process of inserting a component varies depending on the application, this chapter will not detail
|
|
every step of the process. You will need to be familiar with the basics of using the other application in order to correctly insert
|
|
a component from that application</para>

<sect2 id="tdeparts-insert"><title>General instructions</title>
|
|
<para>There are two ways to insert a component (spreadsheet, presentation, graph, etc) from another application in &koffice;:</para>

|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Selecting <menuchoice>
|
|
<guimenu>Insert</guimenu><guimenuitem>Object Frame</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from
|
|
the menubar.</para>
|
|
<para>You will be given a list of &koffice; applications to choose from. Select the application you desire.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>or by clicking <inlinemediaobject><imageobject><imagedata
|
|
fileref="kpart.png" format="PNG"
|
|
align="center"/></imageobject></inlinemediaobject> on the
|
|
toolbar.</para>
|
|
<para>A dialog box will appear with a list of &koffice; applications to choose from. Select the application you desire.</para>
|
|
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>&kword;
|
|
will now ask you to define a frame for this object. Place the mouse pointer where you want the upper left corner of the frame to
|
|
be located. Click and hold with the &LMB;. Drag the mouse to draw a square for your new object. When you are happy with the size of the object frame, release the &LMB;</para>
|
|
<para>&kword; will now execute the application you selected <emphasis>from within &kword;</emphasis>. The details of each
|
|
application are different. Please see the application manuals for the specific &koffice; application for details on the use of that
|
|
application. (In other words, from this point on, if you insert a spreadsheet from &kspread;, then the windows will act the same
|
|
as &kspread;.)</para>

<sect2 id="tdeparts-edit"><title>Working with the inserted component</title>
|
|
<para>To edit the data within the component, simply double click with the mouse pointer and &kword; will change the toolbars, menuitems and
|
|
application structure to match the &koffice; application. This way, you can use the application specific tools to refine your component.</para>
|
|
<note><para>The frame that contains the embedded data, can be <link linkend="frames">manipulated</link>
|
|
the same as any other frame in &kword;.</para></note>
|
|
<para>When you save your document, the component is saved within the &kword; document.</para>
