Understanding Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)
• Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) lets you insert an object into a document and access tools to manipulate the object (usually the tools of the program that were used to create the object)
• With OLE, you place objects into documents either by embedding them or by linking them

Embedding an Object Using Paste
• Embedding places a copy of an object into a document and “remembers” which program created the object, although it doesn’t remember the name of the source file
• The Paste command in the Edit menu uses the Embed or Link method, depending on what is being copied, from where its being copied, and to where you are Pasting it

Using Embedding Methods
• Paste Special: Using Paste Special allows you to embed the objects or parts of objects in specialized formats. Open the source file, select the object you want to embed, click Edit, and then click Copy. Then open the destination file, click Edit, and then click Paste Special. Select the file format option you want to use, and then click the OK button

Using Embedding Methods
• Insert Object: This method is faster than Paste when you are embedding an entire file, because you don’t need to open the source file first. If you need to embed an entire file, such as a graphic image or video clip, click Insert, click Object, and then click Create from File. Locate the file you want to embed, and then click the OK button
