Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 38867
insert OLE Object "as icon"
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:35:22 UTC
It would be nice to be able to insert OLE Object (particularly Calc spreadsheets) "as icon" in writer. It's very convenient for larger spreadsheets, especially if they're bigger than the wrtier document. It's possible in Ms Office. With Msword, in .doc, if you click on the icon of an .xls inserted "as icon", it is edited in a new Excel window. So you can zoom, split, fix the window... All things unavailable with an inserted Calc spreadsheet in a writer document. Sorry, for my awful english.
Inserting objects as icon is currently not supported. Referred to DEV, this can be implemented earliest for post-OO2.0 era.
This should work the same across the whole suite. I. E. Insert a document OLE "as icon" in Calc
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
