Description glu 2004-11-09 08:29:44 UTC 
Currently flat XML filters of OOo or OASIS file formats don't support OLE
objects, i.s. if you save any files with OLE objects (MSO Math, Chart, etc) to
flat XML files of OOo or OASIS, you can't open these files and see those OLE
objects again, although the binary data of these objects (base-64 encoded) are
saved in the flat XML files already.

Due to this bug,  important features of importing MsWordXML files with OLE
objects (e.g. Math, Chart, etc) are impossible to implement.

Comment 3 michael.brauer 2004-11-09 13:09:27 UTC 
Gavin, I don't see any other features except Math and chart objects that cannot
be imported and exported if OLE objects don't work. For this reason, P3 seems to
be mor apropriate.

However, it is not yet known wheter BASE64 enxoced OLE objects are compatible
between WordProcessingML and Open Office XML.
Comment 4 glu 2004-11-10 01:21:08 UTC 
I think other OLE objects native to MSO e.g. spreadsheet, or others can't be
imported in until OOo supports importing MSO-base64-encoded OLE object in its
flat XML filter. 

Perhaps there're something different between the base64-encoding style of OOo
OLE objects and MSO OLE objects.

But at least now, OOo can't readin/import its own saved flat XML files by its
flat XML fitler, showing OLE objects correctly, it's a bug obviously, and fixing
it is a first step to implement   supporting OLE objects from MSO files.
Comment 5 michael.brauer 2005-01-04 12:08:02 UTC 
MIB->MAV: There have been several issues in the XML filter implementation that
prevented (internal and external) OLE objects from being loaded in the flat file
format. I've resolved these issues in the CWS oasisbf4, but external OLE object
still do not work. My assumption is that they are not inserted into the embedded
object container at all, because some code is missing in
SvXMLEmbeddedObjectHelper::ImplReadObject (svx/source/xml/xmleohlp.cxx)
Comment 6 mikhail.voytenko 2005-01-11 13:46:50 UTC 
Fixed.
Comment 7 michael.brauer 2005-01-25 12:05:56 UTC 
reopened for reassign

Comment 9 michael.brauer 2005-01-25 12:08:52 UTC 
To verify: Insert a math object and for instance a paintbrush object into a
writer document, save it using a flat xml filter, and reload it.

I will attach an XSLT stylesheet that can be registered as flat XML filter.

Now the OLE objects are included in the flat XML component.

close it.

QA will close that issue not development.

Comment 17 jogi 2005-02-02 07:14:10 UTC 
it has not been verified in the MASTER by the QA, reopening.

SRC680m78 has a problem with external OLE objects. Can not test it in the
MASTER. #i42331#
Comment 21 jogi 2005-02-25 11:48:11 UTC 
Tested with internal and external OLE objects and works fine (PwrPt 2003, Math)
in m81.
