Request the ability to resize Excel OLE in DOORS in order to view additional data

Currently if a customer needs to view additional rows & columns of data in an Excel OLE they must detach and reattach the OLE file.

When this needs to be done for a large number of OLEs it becomes very time consuming.

It would be much more user friendly if the OLE in DOORS could be resized within DOORS in the same way it can be resized within Word, to allow additional rows and columns to be viewed in the preview.

 

For reference the existing behaviour has a technote:

PM72440: can't resize embedded Excel OLE: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PM72440

The current resizing of the OLE in DOORS merely increases or decreases the size of the OLE and this does not result in additional rows or columns being viewable.
