Removing Embedded Content from a Doclet

As a doclet author, you can remove embedded content from doclets using the Cut command in Word or PowerPoint, or the Delete key on your key board.

To remove embedded content from a doclet:

1. Open the doclet that contains the embedded content, and check it out.

   This is the target doclet, not the reference doclet or any other doclet. The target doclet was discussed in Embedding Content in a Doclet.

2. To remove embedded content from a PowerPoint doclet:
   1. In the target doclet, click on the embedded content to highlight it, and then press the Delete key.
   2. Edit the slide to make any adjustments to surrounding text, if required.
3. To remove embedded content from a Word doclet:
   1. add a blank carriage return either before or after the embedded content.

      You will need an extra bit of plain text, such as an empty paragraph marker, when selecting the embedded content to delete.

   2. Select the embedded content, along with the blank paragraph marker you created in the previous step.

      Select the embedded content and the blank paragraph marker, in the same way that, using Word, you would select a table along with a line of text above or below it.

      In the following image, the embedded content and the paragraph marker below it are selected. An extra blank paragraph marker at the bottom of the image is not selected.

      
   3. Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
      Alternatively, you can use the Cut command from the Home ribbon in Word or PowerPoint.

      The following image shows the selected embedded content and paragraph marker removed; one blank paragraph marker at the bottom of the image remains.

      
4. Repeat these steps for all embedded content to remove from the current target doclet.
5. When your work is completed in the current doclet, upload it, and then check it in.
