Description gherlin 2003-09-16 14:10:32 UTC 
Trying to edit an imbedded excel worksheet in a word document fails with   
General OLE Failure. Also, there is no Edit entry in the alt-click menu for   
that object (probably for the same reason).  
OOo 1.0.2 has better behaviour.

Hi gherlin,

thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice...

I opened your attachesd file and was able to edit the embedded 
worksheet...

I think you need to do the following:
1.   click "Tools"
2.   select "Load/Save"
3.   select "Microsoft Office"
4.   check all 8 checkboxes to use OO components instead of 
         MS Components
5.   Save the new settings...
6.   Load the file 


I hope this helps you... :)

Hi, mci  
  
That fixes it!  
  
Maybe the Linux install should have these set by default?  
Can you pass that on to some relevant person? or should I issue 
another issue?.. 
  
Many thanks and ciao
