Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) generation

This topic explains how to troubleshoot Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) generation where OLEs are not visible in the Word document.

Procedure

  1. Verify Microsoft Office macro settings
    1. Set the security status to low if unsigned macros are running.
    2. Set the security status to trusted publishers if signed macros are running.
    3. Select Trust access to VB project.
  2. Verify the environment.
    1. Double click rpe.dot and ensure a new document is created.
    2. Enter some text and run the rpe macro. If a prompt to save the document is displayed, the Microsoft Word settings are appropriately set to allow macro execution.
    3. In the command line prompt, run cscript. If a help page displays, the scripting support necessary to run the macro is present. If you get an error, install Microsoft Windows script support.
    4. The command to execute the macro is fetched from the Apache log file/console window. It will look like the following: Running command cscript "C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\Publishing Engine\1.1.1.2\utils\word\runmacro.vbs" "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\temp\RPE\temp\service\1289567617406--624625728\result\Word1289567617406_-1881965796.doc" rpe
