The "Display as icon" option in the Insert Object dialogue box allows users to insert an object into a document or presentation while displaying it as an icon rather than the actual content itself. This option is commonly used when the content of the object is not critical to the document, and only a representation or reference to the object is needed.
By selecting the "Display as icon" option, the object is inserted as a small icon within the document. Clicking on the icon allows users to access or activate the actual content of the object. This can be beneficial in reducing the file size of the document, as only the icon representation is stored within the file, while the actual object content may be located elsewhere.
The "Display as icon" option is commonly used for embedding or linking various types of files, such as Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, or multimedia files like audio or video clips. It provides a visual representation of the object without taking up excessive space or affecting the overall layout of the document.
