Abstract
A method for employing a preferred external object handler program with an integrated computer application program is described. The programs are operated simultaneously and the preferred object handler can be employed with the integrated program, rather than employing a similar object handler included in the integrated program. Data is inputted into the preferred object handler program and then, if necessary, automatically converted into a format that is compatible with the default handler.
