I checked with "1.1.4 (German) WIN XP: [645m52 (Build 8824)]", because some
other bugs currently make it impossible to test that completely with 2.0.1. But
with "2.0.1 RC5 German version WIN XP: [680m1(Build8990)]" i've got similar 
results.

It is as the reporter says, if you open 'OOOReadOnlyError.xls' or any other OOo
document with embedded OLE objects, the OLE objects can't be opened. That's the
same for an embedded OOo-DRAW-object.  In general, that is the desired
behaviour, because it is not acceptable that embedded OLE objects can be edited
while the embedding document is "read only".

The special thing here is, that AR is a "read only" application, so that it
might be allowable that those embedded OLE objects can be opened with AR from
the "read only" document.

But:
What will be, if some users have not AR, but "Acrobat 7.0 Professionalas"
selected as "Reader" in their OS? Suddenly there will be a possibility to edit
embedded contents. 

A solution could be to allow only "Open OLE with set 'Read Only Flag'" (if
something like that is available).
Also it might be a good Idea to add a further preference to the "Microsoft
Office Load/Save Options.

This is no special spreadsheet- or .xls- issue

@jordzgreed:
pls. specify your OS!
