Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)

[KevinGaliano]

Good afternoon,

I just searched the DIAdem Idea exchange and I did not find this idea already posted. However, if it was already posted, please excuse this duplicate.

OriginLab has Object Linking and Embedding. You can see this on the following webpage: http://www.originlab.com/doc/Origin-Help/Paste-Embed-OLE

This functionality enables them to paste a plot directly into microsoft applications (e.g., word, excel) and later open and edit it again in Origin directly from the word document while also having access to the raw data.

I recently contacted NI DIAdem Support, and they explained to me that DIAdem does not have an equivalent functionality. The idea I am suggesting is for NI to include such functionality in DIAdem. In other words, it would be convenient if one could somehow embed an object from a Report Sheet from DIAdem into a Word or Powerpoint document and later open it with DIAdem for quick editing and access
to the raw data just by double-clicking from inside Microsoft Word. In other words, it would allow for quick edits to graphs without having to go to the main DIAdem files used for analysis. It would also allow for quick transport of raw data through Microsoft applications between different users.

Cordially,
Kevin
