Is it possible to copy only the content of OLE object

I am new to dxl scripting, will it be possible to copy only the content of OLE object.

I used oleCopy(o) but it copies the whole OLE object, i need only the content of it.

You have to have the native application to get at the contents of an ole object and dxl can not get the contents unless the application has oleautomation -- and even then that would be almost impossible to get the contents by dxl but someone  could say oh yea I did that years ago but ...

 

In another words very difficult to get contents

Can it be done through macros?

When we use oleActivate it goes to the oleObject or Table in Microsoft word right.

From there can it be able to copy the content of that oleobject
