Description landosr 2007-07-12 13:34:11 UTC 
Calc cannot edit an Excel Table embedded in a Word Document. The Table is opened
"Read Only". If MS-Office is installed, it can be edited by Excel.

Various Documents have embedded Excel sheets as Tables for calculating quotes.
In a changing environment from MS-Office to OOo, the documents are all still
MS-Office format. External Documents will remain in MS-Office format. OOo has to
be able to edit MS-Office documents with embedded Excel Tables.

For this, there are conversion options in Tools.Options.LoadSave.Microsoft Office.

Closed.
Comment 3 dankegel 2007-07-14 01:51:36 UTC 
Turning on all those options doesn't help.  I still can't edit an embedded
chart.  This is a blocker for me; if I can't do this, I have to use Microsoft Word.

The problem persists even if I save the document in question as an ODF file.
I'll attach a simple example: a presentation containing a single pie chart.

Comment 5 dankegel 2007-07-14 02:29:00 UTC 
The chart becomes editable if I install MS Office;
when I do that, OpenOffice opens up Microsoft Graph
when I double-click on the chart.

Might be related to bug 7635, bug 22945, and/or bug 27439.
Comment 7 michael.ruess 2007-07-16 10:17:38 UTC 
MRU->FST: please have a look, there is an MS Graph Object in the document. Is
this currently not supported for conversion? RFE?
Comment 8 landosr 2007-07-16 10:23:03 UTC 
For me editing a normal Excel sheet works so far. I have not tested other
possibilities yet.
Comment 9 frank 2007-07-16 10:38:50 UTC 
Hi,

Graph is used very seldom and therefore we do not have an Import filter for such
OLE Objects. So this is an Enhancement request and I re-assign it to
requirements for evaluation and decision finding.

Thanks for the quick response.  

I'm not sure MS Graph is so rarely used; I heard that
all charts within PowerPoint are created by using Microsoft Graph,
and what big company doesn't love pie charts in
their Powerpoint presentations?

This bug can also be seen in the document attached
to issue 20794. 

Also, there's a related export problem if the
user works around this by inserting a new chart 
object, see issue 30356.
