Object Linking and Embedding




<operating system> (OLE) A distributed object system and protocol from Microsoft, also used on the Acorn Archimedes.

OLE allows an editor to "farm out" part of a document to another editor and then reimport it.

For example, a desk-top publishing system might send some text to a word processor or a picture to a bitmap editor using OLE.
