Paste word table as OLE object

Hi

I need to paste a Word table as ole object into DOORS. After I copy the table into the clipboard in Word I can paste it to DOORS as OLE object with Edit/PasteSpecial but not with DXL olePaste function.
Do you have any suggestion how to do it in DXL?

Since in DOORS 9.1 they added the "string olePasteSpecial (Object, bool)" perm and after trying a bit for myself I tend to believe that you will not get happy with the olePaste function. "callStdItem_ OLEPasteSpecialItem" might not work for you either because it will pop up the dialog for the user to confirm.

What seems to work is olePasteLink_, which could enable you to get the embedded OLE object somehow, copy it again and paste it as a non-linked object. The other way I could think of is to use an intermediate application (like excel or another word instance), do a paste special there, cut the result again and paste it to DOORS.

Hope this gives you some more possibilities to try, Regards, Mathias
