Embedding Content in a Doclet
Now that Excel- and Management Reporting-based reference doclets are added to a report package, report content has been created and named ranges defined, and available content has been identified, this content can be embedded. You can embed content in Word or PowerPoint doclets. For example, among the available content in the report package, there may be a chart or grid that an author wants to add to a doclet.
Note:
Before you begin, ensure that the doclet author phase is initiated.
To embed content in a doclet:
Note:
If you place embedded content at the beginning of a Word doclet (the first line and first space of the Word document), you cannot embed content before the already-embedded content. You may embed content immediately after the already-embedded content, but not before it. To workaround this:
-
Delete the embedded content and then re-embed the content in the correct order. To delete the embedded content, add a blank line after the embedded content, then select the blank line along with the embedded content, then right-click and select Remove Content Control from the context menu. Next, select the blank line and embedded content again, and then press Delete.
-
Place a blank line at the beginning of the Word document to ensure that, if necessary, you can insert embedded content before the first instance of embedded content.
Note:
If you embed content consisting of a multiple line grid at the beginning of a Word doclet (the first line and first space of the Word document), you cannot delete only the embedded content. Note that you can delete a single line grid that was embedded at the beginning of a Word doclet.
To workaround this, add a blank line after the embedded content, then select the blank line along with the embedded content, then right-click and select Remove Content Control from the context menu. Next, select the blank line and embedded content again, and then press Delete.
