Use
To enable you to use Desktop Office Integration in business applications as well as for storing and managing documents, it contains features that allow you to use documents as forms or templates into which you can insert R/3 data at runtime.
Integration
Link Server
OLE links allow you to insert not only simple text into your documents, but also complex data formats such as RTF, graphics, and internal tables. You can create document templates easily using a ‘Paste special’ dialog box and without any macro programming knowledge.
Table Collection
R/3 data in tabular form is made available using the SAP TableFactory OCX. This is part of the SAP Automation Suite, and is used for RFC programming in Visual Basic. This function allows you to re-import data into the R/3 System after you have edited it using the desktop application.
Features
The following diagram shows the object hierarchy by which R/3 data is exposed. You can access the data using Visual Basic programs.
