Question

define Linking and Embedding objects in MS word​

Answer 1

Object linking and embedding (OLE) is a Microsoft technology that facilitates the sharing of application data and objects written in different formats from multiple sources. Linking establishes a connection between two objects, and embedding facilitates application data insertion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Linked objects are part of OLE – object linking and embedding. As the name implies, linked objects are elements of some sort – often pictures or animations – that are linked to either another document or another part of the same document. To be more specific, linked objects are created with an application and inserted into a document that was created with a different application. An example would be creating a Word document and linking a table that was created in Excel into said Word document.
