Previewing Available Content

Before inserting embedded content into a doclet, authors can preview available content from Excel- and Reports-based reference doclets and reference files using the Show Preview button in the Embed Contents dialog.

1. Open a doclet and check it out.
2. From the Narrative Reporting ribbon, click the Embed button:

   Note:

   The Embed Contents dialog is not resizable. Use the scroll bars to view parts of the image that are not immediately visible.

   In the following example, we selected Consol_BalSht. A preview image of the Consol_BalSht table is displayed:
   
   

   You can select one available content at a time to preview.

5. Optional: To close the preview pane of the dialog at any time, click the Hide Preview button.
6. Once you locate the available content to embed into the doclet, click the Embed button at the top of the dialog.

   This action inserts the selected available content in the document or slide, and then closes the dialog.

• You must first check out a doclet in order to see the Embed button on the Narrative Reporting ribbon. Click the Embed button to launch the Embed Contents dialog.

• The Embed Contents dialog displays best when your system's Display settings, under Scale and layout, is set to 100%.
