SUMMARY
Word 6.0 for the Macintosh installs two files--the Registration Database
and Embedding Preferences--that contain information about which
applications support OLE. Both files are installed in the Preferences
folder of your System folder.
MORE INFORMATION
The Registration Database contains information about OLE 2.0 functionality,
whereas the Embedding Preferences file contains information regarding OLE
1.0 functionality. If either of these files is deleted, the file is re-
created when the OLE application is started.
At this time there is no utility to edit the Registration Database on the
Macintosh platform. However, once the OLE application is started, the
application is re-registered in the Registration Database or the Embedding
Preferences file.
