Excel import: Text direction in OLE objects

OO 2 Writer can't import the doc file: http://sciencefit.narod.ru/lab2.doc OO 1.1 imports this.
Created attachment 31323 [details] The doc file impossible for OO 2 Writer to import
I am not able to open this with OO 1.1x or OO 2.0. Even MS word is not able to open this. This is no valid MS .doc format. It is anything else, but no OO or MS compliant file format.
Closed.
I think there is no reason to be sure that it is a bad doc file. OO Writer 1.1.2 opens this. I'll ask the author of the file about the version of MS Word used to create it.
OK, the attached file works while I couldn't get a correct file from the download location (which I tried first). However, on WinXP I can open the document without problem on OO 2.0 and on an internal OO 2.0.1 milestone. I will try with an OO on Linux tomorrow.
FYI: no problem opening hat file on linux in OOo 2.0 (german)
No crash, hang, or slowness opening attachment #31323 [details] on Fedora Core 4 (Linux 2.6) with OOo 2.0.0 (official OOo build).
I also tried to open with OO 2.0 on SUSE 9.2 -> no problem.
No problemfor me and other's; must be a problem in lhome's installation. Issue closed.

Would you all be patient to set your options as shown in the attached snapshot and try to open lab2.doc again? -- Regards, lhome
I confirm: OOo 2.0 official hangs with CPU 100% on WinXP Pro SP2, BUT only if OOo is set to load MS Office objects (I have no MS Office installed). If you switch off the [L]oad in Tools|Options|Load/Save|Microsoft Office the document opens without problems. Attempting to open the first Chart (of Excel? titled "Results obtained" in Russian) by double-clicking it start Calc that hangs, though. Tested with attachment (id=31323).
This is of course a quite essential information! The object conversion option must be enabled for this. MRU->OC: please have a look, the Conversion of the Excel objects lead to a loop here.
There is no loop, but charts with many data which leads to a performanceproblem (which should be solved by the planned chart2 implementation). But the Excel-OLE shows another problem: in OOo the Excelsource is right-to-left but in Word it is shown as left-to-right. Therfor the view is not on the right place and the OLE looks like it is empty => daniel please have a look
