Inter-Application Communication

Cut and paste functions can be performed easily across all types of applications, reducing the need for manual transfers of data and the resulting risk of errors. Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is supported between Windows and OS/2 Presentation Manager(*) applications. (DDE enables users to update information in one application or session and have the updates applied to identical information in a different application or session.) Object linking and embedding (OLE) is supported between Windows applications. (OLE enables an application to use data from another application; for example, a word-processing application could link to a voice-annotation application.)
