Unregistered OLE objects
If the application that is associated with an OLE object
is not installed on your machine, the OLE object is unregistered.
For example, you do not have Microsoft Word
installed on your machine and you open a module that contains a Word
document. The Word document is an unregistered OLE object.
You can cut or copy unregistered OLE objects, and IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® (DOORS) objects that contain unregistered OLE objects. You cannot copy and paste a selection of text that contains an unregistered OLE object.
If you cut an unregistered OLE object and paste it into a different application, the OLE object is pasted as a picture. The data that was contained in the OLE object is lost.
