Description oub 2007-02-20 16:17:58 UTC 
Hello,
The document attached contains a math formula I copied from a word (XP)
document. When I try to open the formula (in the original document or in the new
OO document) I receive the error:
Error activating object
general OLE error.
Another document by the same author contains equations which I do can open.

You need to have MathType 5 installed on your system to edit MathType OLE objects.

Aeh on Linux there is no Mathtype editor, so what shall/can you do. May be at
least the error message should be clearer.
Comment 5 michael.ruess 2007-02-21 15:40:28 UTC 
Unfortunately Linux does not offer OLE mechanism like Windows. This cannot be
solved in OOo.

Making the message more significant is already tracked as issue 23481.
