Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
I have been sent a Word document with an embedded Excel spreadsheet.
Unfortunately I am not able to attach a copy of the document as the
contents are sensitive. When I open the document using OpenOffice.org
Writer, I get an error dialog:
"Read-Error.
Unknown or unsupported Excel file format."
When I click OK, the Word document is displayed normally, but where the
Excel spreadsheet should be is a rectangle with the Excel file name in
it. When I click on the rectangle, it gets the green handles around it
and pops up the Picture toolbar. I opened the Word document and the
embedded Excel file perfectly before upgrading to Ubuntu 6.10. I got a
colleague to send me just the Excel file and I can open it normally -
the problem only exists when the file is embedded within the Word
document.
I don't know (yet) which version of Office was used to create either the
Word document, the embedded Excel file or the standalone Excel file.
** Affects: openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
