Macintosh - known issues when using Microsoft Office 98
- Notes Release 5.0.1 does not support OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) creation with Microsoft Office 98 for Macintosh. The OLE libraries in Office 98 are not compatible with Notes 5.0.1a. This means that the Create Object menu will be grayed out if you have Office 98 installed. You can create and edit OLE objects in Notes by using Microsoft Office 4.2.1 which includes Excel 5.0a, Power Point 4.0 and Word 6.0.1. Lotus currently plans to have this issue addressed in a future maintenance release.
- Quitting Excel while the object is still active in Notes can cause Excel to terminate. Close the object in Notes prior to exiting Excel.
- OLE Drag & Drop is not supported at this time. Use the clipboard to copy or move data from one application to another.
