Description :

Documents converted from HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language), usually from a World Wide Web source, may contain "active object" instructions (such as a Java applet). An active object may have an alternate representation which is to be displayed if the active object is not supported or is disabled. When an active object is converted to a compound text representation, the alternate representation is stored beginning with a CDALTERNATEBEGIN record and ending with a CDALTERNATEEND record. An alternate representation corresponds to the most recent active object with the same ACTIVEOBJECT_TYPE_xxx code, found in the Type field. The fields in this record are:
