Description gherlin 2003-09-16 14:02:59 UTC 
Trying to edit an imbedded excel worksheet in a word document fails with  
General OLE Failure. Also, there is no Edit entry in the alt-click menu for  
that object (probably for the same reason). 
OOo 1.0.2 has better behaviour. 
 
BTW, no possibility to attach test file for this problem on this site!

Hi Gherlin --  

I was unable to reproduce the behavior you reported (RH9/OOo 1.1)  

If you are still experiencing this problem, please provide more
details as to exactly how to reproduce the problem.  

Thanks,  

Tam
Comment 5 gherlin 2003-10-08 08:46:27 UTC 
The issue is resolved by setting the  
Tools->Options->Load/Save settings to use OO components instead of  
MS components. This problem applies only to people who do not have  
MS Office (linux users and W32 users).  
I don't understand why these are set this way. Nor have I examined  
any MS license issues.  
Anyway, thanks for the help.
