TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I certainly used to use it, but even seeing the term here was more
like a blast from the past than anything else. I remember selecting
OLE as an option when embedding Office files. Is it possible that I

tears in rain.
Also perhaps relevant, when I searched for "using OLE", the page
included "People also ask: What do you mean by OLE?"
