Click Macromedia Freehand 10 Doc as the object type.

4

Click OK. A new FreeHand 10 file is launched within FreeHand.

5

Edit the document as desired.

6

Choose File > Exit and Return to Document to return to the Windows application.

7

Save the document in the Windows application.

To update an OLE object:

1

Open the file containing the OLE object from the previous procedure.

2

Double-click the OLE object.

3

The FreeHand 10 application is launched from within the other application.
