 | | OLE is a set of standard COM interfaces that enable users to create compound document by linking and embedding objects (components) into container applications, hence the name OLE. |
 | | Automation is an OLE technology, which enables third party applications to remotely control Office applications. |
 | | For example, using Automation interfaces, Puppeteer can adapt a large PowerPoint presentation by loading only a couple of slides, instead of the full presentation, before returning control to the user. |
