31.2.4.4 Retrieving OLE objects for use in the original application
If you use Mif2Go to export from FrameMaker an OLE object originally created in another application such as Excel or Visio, and then change the file extension, you can subsequently open the exported file in the original application:
; ExportOleFiles = Yes (makes external .ole files) or No (default)
; when not exported, a .wmf is extracted if possible and kept in DCL
When ExportOleFiles=Yes, for each OLE object in your document, Mif2Go creates a file with extension .ole and places the file in the project directory.
Note: Use this setting only to retrieve OLE objects for use in the application that created them; the retrieved objects do not become usable external graphics files.
To change the file extension of all exported OLE objects to that required by (for example) Visio:
See §31.3.1.2 Substituting graphics files for HTML.
