Embedded Objects styles and settings

[bedobner]

I am developing an application that is based on writer.
This application will embed many draw documents as OLE objects.
My question and problem is that each embedded object has associated with it a styles.xml and a settings.xml file.
This creates two problems for me:
1. It is redundant for my application to have these files exist in so many objects
2. Need to have consistent style across all of these embedded objects.

I have been looking for a means of controlling the location of these files for all of my embedded draw objects.
Please help me understand how to do this.
Thanks, Ed
