What is a compound document?
When a document contains data from more than one program such as text, calendars, animations, sound, motion video files, it is a compound document.
It is common to need a table while writing a Microsoft Word document or to need a chart while preparing a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. The easiest way to add one of these components is to use another program, such as Microsoft Excel, to produce the table or chart and then insert the table or chart into the original document.
The software that creates the compound document is the container program. Any software that supplies data for the compound document is a source program. Compound documents can have multiple source programs, meaning you can create powerful combinations of information in a single file. When you master the skills of creating compound documents, you can begin thinking in terms of what information you want to include, not what information your current application lets you convey.
