Note that Impress will only link the media clip, therefore when the
presentation is moved to a different computer, the link will most likely
be broken and as a consequence the media clip will not play. An easy
workaround that prevents this from happening is the following:
1) Place the media file to be included in the presentation in the same
folder where the presentation is stored.
2) Insert the media file in the presentation.
3) When sending the presentation to a different computer, send also
the media file and place both files in the same folder on the target
computer.
Impress offers the possibility to preview the media clips that are to be
inserted by means of the provided media player. To open it select Tools
> Media Player. The media player is shown in Figure 129. Its toolbar
is the same as that of the Media Playback toolbar described above.

OLE objects
Use an OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) object to insert in a
presentation either a new document or an existing one. Embedding
inserts a copy of the object and details of the source program in the
target document, that is the program which is associated to the file
type in the operating system. The major benefit of an OLE object is
that it is quick and easy to edit the contents just by double-clicking on
it. You can also insert a link to the object that will appear as an icon
rather than an area showing the contents itself.
