2) Select Create New to insert a new object of the type selected in
the Object Type list, or select Create from File to create a new
object from a file.
3) If you choose Create from File, the dialog shown below opens.
Click Browse and choose the file to insert. The inserted file
object is editable by the Windows program that created it.
If instead of inserting an object, you want to insert a link to an
object, select the Display As Icon option.

Non-linked OLE object
If the OLE object is not linked, it can be edited in the new document.
For instance, if you insert a spreadsheet into a Writer document, you
can essentially treat it as a Writer table (with a little more power). To
edit it, double-click on it.
Linked OLE object
When the spreadsheet OLE object is linked, if you change it in Writer it
will change in Calc; if you change it in Calc, it will change in Writer.
This can be a very powerful tool if you create reports in Writer using
Calc data, and want to make a quick change without opening Calc.
Note
You can only edit one copy of a spreadsheet at a time. If you
have a linked OLE spreadsheet object in an open Writer
document and then open the same spreadsheet in Calc, the Calc
spreadsheet will be a read-only copy.
