Object linking and embedding

Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) is a technology that lets you share data between applications and is supported for Microsoft™ Windows™.

OLE lets you link or embed data from other applications in an HCL Notes® document. The collection of data you embed is an object.

You can embed or link part of a file or a whole file. You can also embed an object in a Notes document and use the object's application to enter data in Notes.

Using Notes applications as object libraries

Using templates that were installed with Notes, you can create a Microsoft Office Library or SmartSuite® Library application where you, or others in your organization, can create OLE objects with Microsoft Office or SmartSuite applications.
