How to extract OLE objects from DOORS

Is it possible to extract OLE objects via DXL in DOORS 9.5.2?

To extract OLE objects from DOORS via DXL, does the server/client need the respective software to be installed? Example: if there are MS Word based OLE objects then do I need the Microsoft Office software to be installed on my client / server ?

Is it somehow possible to extract the contents of OLE objects without the target application being installed? Can this be done via any external program?

There are ways via DXL to manipulate OLEs, however if you need to extract information from the OLE you do need the originating application or one that can read files of that type to be present on the client. For instance, you may not need Microsoft Word to read a word document but you need a program installed on the client that can.
