OLE
OLE (pronounced oh-lay ), for Object Linking and Embedding, lets you insert self-updating material from a source document in one program into a target document running in another. If you insert an Excel spreadsheet as a linked object into a Word document, for example, any changes that you make to the spreadsheet separately in Excel appear in the Word document automatically.To insert an OLE object:
1. Open or create a document in a program that supports OLE (WordPad, Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, for example).2. Click or move the cursor to where you want the inserted object to appear.3. Choose Insert > Object.This command may appear elsewhere in non-Microsoft programs.4. In the Object dialog box, choose the object type and link type that you want to create (Figure 1.55 ).
Figure 1.55. Click the Create New tab to insert a new object; click the Create from File tab to insert an existing file. Check Link to File if you want the data to self-update when the source file is edited. The Result box explains the inserted object's behavior.
