Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) objects can be linked to a target document or can be embedded.
Embedding external objects
This operation inserts into the drawing data produced by other programs. When incorporating data from other programs, the design becomes a passive container for this data. To change the data, you must open the program that produced them. For example, when incorporating a diagram produced with Excell, only the diagram image is reproduced; to be able to change the data, you must start Excell.

When you embed an object in a document, insert a copy of the object and detailed information about the source program into the target document. To change the object, you must activate the source program. |
