EMBED

Displayed in the formula bar when an embedded object is selected. EMBED cannot be entered on a sheet or used in a macro.

Syntax

EMBED(object_class, item)

Object_class is the name of the application and document type that created the embedded object. For example, the object_class arguments used when Microsoft Excel sheets are embedded in other applications are "Excel.sheet.5" and "Excel.Chart.5".

Item is the area selected to copy, and determines the view on the embedded document. When item is empty text (""), EMBED creates a view on the entire document.

Remarks

If you delete the EMBED formula, the embedded object remains on the document as a graphic, and the link to the creating application is deleted. Double-clicking the object no longer starts the creating application.
