When the server window opens, the object is loaded into the window. For embedded objects, the window is initially sized to show only the portion of the object that was displayed in the client application. The user can resize the window to display additional portions of the embedded object.
Note Some embedded objects (such as spreadsheets) may include portions that are not displayed. These hidden portions are included only if the displayed portion draws data from them.
In the case of linked objects, the entire linked file is loaded, and the linked portion is selected. If possible, the server display should not come up maximized and should obscure as little of the object in the container document as possible.
The user can modify the object with the editing tools provided by the server application. The process for updating the object in the container file varies depending on whether the server supports the single document interface (SDI) or the multiple document interface (MDI).
