share an object in different views?

   

This is done by linking in the shared component into the composite objects that you wish to have shared access. The mechanics of this are: click first on the component you wish to link in (source), click second on the component aftergif which you wish to link it (destination), and click on the Command Menu `Add Link' button.  

For example, you could use this mechanism if you wish to have a single `author' object which will be linked in to all documents you produce (rather than duplicating the information in several `author' objects). Similarly, if two users wish to work cooperatively on a document, memo, etc., they can share it via a link.

Note the results of this action: a link to the source component is put after the destination component in destination composite object. It does not put a link within the destination object that you would then see if you expand that object. That is to say, if you click on a source paragraph in window A, a destination paragraph in window B, and then on the Command Menu `Add Link' button, the source paragraph will be linked in after the destination paragraph in window B. No link will be put into the object holding the destination composition component.
