Existing OLE objects can be edited as follows:

Select the OLE object and click on the OLE object icon ole_edit_icon on the contextual ribbon tab OLE object. Select Edit from the dropdown menu.

Tip: Alternatively, simply double-click on the OLE object to edit it. The object will be opened immediately in the associated application, where it can be edited.

Another alternative: You can also use the context menu to edit an OLE object. Proceed as follows:

1.Click on the OLE object to select it.
2.Right-click on the OLE object to open the context menu and select the menu item with the object name (for example, Bitmap object). Selecting this menu item opens a submenu containing all OLE commands that are available for this object. There is a command Edit for editing the object. Choose this command.
3.The source application associated with the OLE object will now start. Make the desired changes.

To return to Write, simply exit the object's source application. When exiting some applications, you will be asked if you want to update the object in the Write document. Answer "Yes" – your changes will be discarded otherwise.
