CNET GLOSSARY: Terms for the techie
OLE
Object Linking and Embedding A Microsoft compound document standard that enables users to create objects in one application, then embed them in a document created in another program. For instance, clicking an Excel table in a Word document activates the spreadsheet program and allows the user to edit the data. In addition, the data is "live"--it is automatically updated when the object is updated in its source program.
