Embedded documents == Linked documents?

[joe_l]

A bug or not or an oversight I can not tell. I always thought, that there is a difference between embeddded and linked documents. Obviously not.

1) Place 4 .afphoto in APu, two linked, two embedded.

2) Click one embedded .afphoto.

3) Use Select > Select Object > Embedded Documents.

Result: All .afphoto will be selected, no matter linked or embedded.

By design? Or is the menu entry "Linked Documents" simply missing?

I think the term Embedded Documents in this case may mean any external document that has been placed in the main document.

I don't think it matters whether, in Resource Manager, it shows as a Linked document or an Embedded document

But I can understand the confusion and maybe they could have used a better word/phrase

Hi Joe_l, 

This function selects those documents that are currently embedded in the open document. The resource manager refers to the physical files.

Maybe it is just me having problems with this difference or wording. In the end it simply means "Select Documents".
