OLE Behavior in UR

I use a drawing tablet and pen for my work, and I've always liked applications ( Such PenOffice) which let me scribble diagrams and simple drawings on a note that can be saved or emailed. I've created a simple template in UR which allows me to insert scribble notes in UR. I am pretty sure that most UR users are aware of this.

I opened MSPAINT.EXE and create a new blank document with attributes of "8.5inX11.5in" and then choose "Select All" from its "Edit" menu. I then copy this blank document to the Windows' Clipboard.

I then insert a "Rich Text" Info Item under the "UR" "Templates" Info Item. I paste the blank MSPAINT document into the "Item Details" pane. I go into this new template "Item Attributes" pane and give the template a name such as "Pen" and give the "Item Title" a name such as "Scribble." Now, I am able to scribble notes in UR by double clicking on the "Item Detail" pane of such an inserted Info Item.

But, my question is: What other Microsoft applications or Office applications besides MSPAINT can allow me to carry out this type of behavior within UR? Or, what type of application must an application be in order to behave like MSPAINT does within UR? What happens with MSPAINT within UR seems to me like the behavior of "Object Linking and Embedding" within UR. I now see the value of letting external applications handle stored data in UR, and I realize that starting an external application such as M.S. Word through a document template more or less does the same thing as OLEing. but it's such a hussle. Is this OLE type behavior in UR unintended?


By the way, on another subject, on LCD's screens with resolutions of 1280X1024 DPI's and up those icons in the explorer pane look too darn small. Is there anything that you have plan to do about that in a future version? Thank you. Jm
