Compound documents will frequently lose information on images and other embedded objects.

Bonobo is a component model for creating reusable software components and compound documents.

This creates a compound document and a master file to which the document makes reference.

Software-based compound document comparison first separates and compares the native format in two documents.

Office has extensive support for compound documents, for example, you can embed a spreadsheet in a Word document.

The term originated when such compound documents were created using manual paste up techniques for typographic page layout.

The Compound Document Processor can also separate images such as charts and signatures from text.

Excel 3.0 is a good choice, before all the compound document stuff, and save a minimum file containing only the exact features you want to use.

Risks associated with manual user review of changes in embedded objects are eliminated using software-based compound document comparison tools.

These zippered lists would allow compound documents to be formed from pieces of other documents, a concept named transclusion.

Well-known technologies for compound documents include:

'Object viewing', whereby users assemble compound documents from various files on the desktop and, linked to this, file transfer.

Compound documents are documents that have OLE objects embedded in addition to native text or tables.

It also appears that OpenDoc was a victim of an oversold concept, that of compound documents.

In comparison, OLE creates compound documents on a Windows- or Macintosh-based computers.

Running under Digital Research's GEM environment it provides an almost uncanny level of control over both simple and compound documents.

It was created formerly by Ximian for compound documents used in GNOME.

ODA defines a compound document format that can contain raw text, raster images and vector graphics.

Second, compound document comparison compares all embedded objects by first marking their original place, and then comparing the objects granularly in their native form.

The patent for software-based compound document comparison is held by Litéra Technology LLC.

Its primary use is for managing compound documents, but it is also used for transferring data between different applications using drag and drop and clipboard operations.

OS/2 also includes a radical advancement in application development with compound document technology called OpenDoc, which was developed with Apple.

Like Apple's similar Hypercard reader, Bookshelf engine's files used a single compound document, containing large numbers of subdocuments ("cards" or "articles").

Greater accuracy is achieved when changes to both text and embedded objects are compared on a pixel by pixel basis with software-based compound document comparison tools.

Compound documents of this type are traditionally assembled by layout artists from the various elements which may have come from a typesetting house, design studio, photographer or elsewhere.
