Embedded Chart Description Is Wrong for Excel 3.00

Last reviewed: November 2, 1994
Article ID: Q69261

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

Embedding is correctly defined on page 325 of the "Microsoft Excel User's Guide," but the description of embedded charts on pages 391- 394 uses the term incorrectly. Because the charts described update dynamically as the data in the supporting document(s) is changed, the charts cannot be described as embedded objects. They are linked objects.

MORE INFORMATION

The embedded object carries with it the supporting document that contains all the data used to create the object. You may want to use embedding instead of linking when you don't need a dynamic link between two applications, but you want to be able to open and update supporting data from within the other application.
