CHAPTER
EIGHTEEN: LINKING AND EMBEDDING
- MS OFFICE 2000 IS A SUITE THAT
ALLOWS INTEGRATION, WHICH IS COMBINING THE DATA FROM TWO OR MORE PROGRAMS
INTO ONE DOCUMENT. INTEGRATION CAN
OCCUR BY COPYING AND PASTING.
HOWEVER, IF YOU CONTINUALLY UPDATE SOMETHING IN ONE OF THE
PROGRAMS, YOU WOULD NEED TO COPY AND PASTE THE UPDATED INFORMATION TO THE
OTHER PROGRAM EACH TIME A CHANGE IS MADE.
OFFICE WILL ALLOW YOU TO OVERCOME THIS BY SHARING THE DATA BETWEEN
THE PROGRAMS. THIS TYPE OF SHARING
IS REFERRED TO AS OBJECT LINKING AND EMBEDDING (OLE = OH LAY). THE PROGRAM CONTAINING THE OBJECT IS
CALLED THE SOURCE AND THE PROGRAM THE OBJECT IS LINKED OR EMBEDDED IN IS
CALLED THE DESTINATION. AN OBJECT
CAN BE A TABLE, WORKBOOK, CHART, PICTURE, TEXT, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF
CREATED INFORMATION. THERE IS A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LINKING AND EMBEDDING.
WHEN AN OBJECT IS LINKED, THE OBJECT EXISTS IN THE SOURCE, BUT NOT
AS A SEPARATE OBJECT IN THE DESTINATION.
THE DESTINATION ONLY CONTAINS A CODE IDENTIFYING THE NAME AND
LOCATION OF THE SOURCE. WHEN AN
OBJECT IS EMBEDDED, IT RESIDES IN BOTH THE SOURCE AND DESTINATION. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EMBEDDING AND
JUST COPYING AND PASTING IS THAT EMBEDDED OBJECTS GIVE ACCESS TO THE
SOURCE APPLICATION TOOLS. IF A
CHANGE IS MADE TO AN EMBEDDED OBJECT AT EITHER THE SOURCE OR DESTINATION,
THE OTHER DOES NOT CHANGE. THE SIZE OF A DOCUMENT DOES NOT CHANGE WHEN A
LINK IS INSERTED. AN EMBEDDED
OBJECT WILL INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE DESTINATION.
- LINKING OBJECTS - BY DEFAULT, MS OFFICE
UPDATES A LINK AUTOMATICALLY. THE
STEPS TO LINK AN OBJECT BETWEEN PROGRAMS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME REGARDLESS
OF THE PROGRAM. (1) MAKE SURE BOTH
PROGRAMS ARE OPEN. (2) MAKE THE
PROGRAM WITH THE OBJECT TO LINK THE ACTIVE ONE. (3) SELECT THE OBJECT TO LINK.
(4) CLICK ON COPY. (5) ACTIVATE THE DESTINATION PROGRAM. (6) HAVE THE DESTINATION
FILE OPEN. (7) PLACE INSERTION POINT AT DESIRED LOCATION. (8) CHOOSE
EDIT PASTE SPECIAL. (9) AT PASTE SPECIAL BOX, CHOOSE THE NECESSARY
OBJECT IN THE AS LIST THEN CLICK PASTE LINK. (10) CLICK ON OK. WHEN THE INSERTION POINT IS IN THE
LINKED OBJECT IN THE DESTINATION, THE LINK I S HIGHLIGHTED IN GRAY. INFORMATION CAN BE CHANGED IN THE
DESTINATION, BUT THE CHANGES WILL DISAPPEAR WHEN THE LINK IS UPDATED. A LINK IS UPDATED WHEN A FILE IS OPENED
OR PRINTED. IF YOU WANT TO UPDATE
INFO IN A LINKED OBJECT, DO IT AT THE SOURCE.
- EDITING A DOCUMENT WITH A
LINKED OBJECT
EDIT THE SOURCE DOCUMENT
- LINKING IN THE SAME PROGRAM LINKING DOES NOT HAVE TO BE
BETWEEN DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. YOU CAN
LINK WITHIN THE SAME PROGRAM BETWEEN FILES.
- EMBEDDING OBJECTS WHEN AN OBJECT IS EMBEDDED,
IT ACTUALLY RESIDES IN BOTH THE SOURCE AND DESTINATION DOCUMENTS. IT IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED WHEN THE
SOURCE IS UPDATE. HOWEVER, AN
EMBEDDED OBJECT ALLOWS YOU TO USE THE EDITING TOOLS OF THE SOURCE
DOCUMENT. DOUBLE CLICK ON THE
EMBEDDED OBJECT AND THE TOOLS OF THE SOURCE PROGRAM ARE DISPLAYED.
- EDITING A DOCUMENT WITH AN
EMBEDDED OBJECT
AN OBJECT EMBEDDED IN A DESTINATION DOCUMENT CAN BE EDITED IN THAT
DOCUMENT USING THE TOOLS OF THE SOURCE PROGRAM. YOU DONT NEED TO RETURN TO THE SOURCE
PROGRAM TO USE THE TOOLS. DOUBLE
CLICK ON THE OBJECT. YOU WILL HAVE
ACCESS TO THE TOOLS AND MENUS
