Extract Embedded OLE Objects

The File Extraction API can extract embedded OLE objects from the following types of documents:

• Lotus Notes (DXL)

• Microsoft Excel

• Microsoft Word

• Microsoft PowerPoint

• Microsoft Outlook

• Microsoft Visio

• Microsoft Project

• OASIS Open Document

• Rich Text Format (RTF)

When an embedded OLE object is extracted from its parent file, the location of the embedded file in the original document is not available. The parent and child are extracted as separate files.
