## Convert dialog box

This dialog box appears when you choose the Convert Picture Object command from the Edit menu if you have a picture object, or when you choose the Convert command from the Linked Bitmap Image Object submenu of the Edit menu if you have a linked bitmap.

Use the Convert dialog box to convert the selected picture object from its current format to a new format. If your report contains a picture object in a format that you can't edit in one of your applications, use this command to convert the picture to a format that you can edit.

##### Convert to

Click this to convert the embedded information to a different type. This is useful if you no longer have the program that was used to create the information, or if you want to display the information in a different format than the original type allows. Select the new object type from the list.

##### Object Type

Lists all the available file types that the object can be converted to.

##### Activate as

Click this to open the embedded object by using a different program that is compatible with the original object type. This does not permanently convert the object.

##### Display As Icon

Specifies whether the embedded object will appear in the report as an icon or whether the actual contents of the object will always be visible. Note that some object applications only display objects as icons.

If you select Display as Icon, you can open the object in your document by double-clicking its icon.

##### Change Icon

Click this button to change the icon that represents the embedded object in your report.
