  1. Objectives Learn about object linking and embedding (OLE) Embed an Excel chart in a Word document Edit an embedded Excel chart in Word Link an Excel worksheet to a Word document Update a linked Excel worksheet Test and break a link

  2. Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) You can easily share data that you create in different Office applications through object linking and embedding, or OLE. For example: You want to insert a chart you create in Excel into a memo you generate in Word You want to merge a letter you create in Word with names and addresses you have stored in an Access database You want to transfer an outline you create in Word to a PowerPoint presentation

  3. Object Linking and Embedding

  4. Object Linking and Embedding • With OLE, you can share data in one of two ways: • Embed data created in one application (the source) in a file created in a different application (the destination) • A copy of the object becomes part of the destination file, and any changes you make to it does not affect the original file • Link data, so that any changes made to it, in either the source file or the destination file, automatically take effect in the other file. • The object exists in only one place

  6. Embedding an Excel Chartin a Word Document Start the source program (Excel), open the file containing the chart to be embedded, select the chart you want to embed in the destination file (a Word document), and then in the Clipboard group on the Home tab, click the Copy button Start the destination program (Word), open the file that will contain the embedded chart, and then position the insertion point where you want to place the chart
