Error description

  • If you import an .rtf file into a module, and the first thing in
    that .rtf file is an Excel OLE, the import will complete
    successfully, but the graphical representation of the OLE will
    be empty.
    
    When activated the OLE contents display correctly, but the
    unactivated picture of it is simply a white box.

    ****************************************************************
    When an RTF file has a embedded Excel OLE, DOORS RTF
    importer discards additional rendering data for the embedded
    OLE so the graphical representation of the object is empty
    until activation.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Issue is fixed by using the additional rendering data during
    the RTF import.
