Change the way a linked or embedded object is displayed

You can display a linked object or embedded object in a workbook exactly as it appears in the source program or as an icon. If the workbook will be viewed online, and you don't intend to print the workbook, you can display the object as an icon. This minimizes the amount of display space it occupies. Viewers who want to display the information can double-click the icon.

1. Click the icon for the linked or embedded object you want to display.
2. On the Edit menu, point to object type Object (for example, Document Object), and then click Convert.
3. To display the content of the object, clear the Display as icon check box.

   To display an icon of the object, select the Display as icon check box. To change the default icon image or label, click Change Icon, and click the icon you want from the Icon list, or type a label in the Caption box.
