Replacing Linked or Embedded Data with Static Data

You can replace linked or embedded data with stand-alone bitmaps by using the application that created the data.

To replace linked or embedded data with a bitmap

  1. Start the application that created the data by choosing the object containing the data.

  2. In the application, copy the object's presentation to the Clipboard.

    For example, if the application has a Copy Picture command, use it to copy the object's presentation.

  3. From the Edit menu in Visual FoxPro, choose Paste Special.

  4. In the Paste Special dialog box, choose Paste Option.

  5. Choose the Picture (Metafile) option.
