------- Additional comments from c...@openoffice.org Tue Dec 16 16:29:26 +0000 2008 ------- Long ago we put in the feature to convert at load time embedded Microsoft Office formats and convert them to our own so that double-clicking them could allow them to be edited. (tools->options->load/save->microsoft office). Then later we defaulted it off because it was slowing down the load of documents with a lot of objects in them. How difficult do you think it would be to instead somehow register OOo itself as the handler for editing embedded Microsoft Office objects (esp. under unix). That way we could get the best of both worlds. Fast no-conversion load, then the ability to double-click to edit, which is probably the feature we should have tried to implement the first time --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
