Attaching file in RTF template

[sunaps]

Hi,

My ultimate goal is to have a file added as attachment when i generate an RTF document for package. People should be able to click on attachment and view the attached file. I tried using the file option under element. However, it only lets me display the file as link. Is there any other way of doing this?

Go to Microsoft Word, and select "Insert | Object..." --> "From file" and insert the file selecting "show as icon" option.

Copy the object.

In EA, create a Linked Document for the desired element and paste the object created in word.

Save the linked document.

Generate the documentation of the package, using a template with the section "Model Document" selected in order to render the linked documents of the elements.

Does it help?

In recent versions of EA the Element::File section has the Hyperlink field:
File>
{ElemFile.Hyperlink}
<File
I suggest you check this option.
