------- Additional comments from daugir...@openoffice.org Sat Oct 3 17:06:36 +0000 2009 ------- The issue is very important to me and many other chemists. Currently, OpenOffice, Neoffice and MS Office 2008 can't insert or open OLE objects from ChemBioOffice under Tiger and Snow Leopard. iWork and MS Office 2004 (that I don't have and is no longer available) seem to communicate well with ChemDraw, so it must be doable. I can't really use iWork since they don't support odf and doc support is rather average. OpenOffice and Neoffice can display the drawing in the existing document created on Windows platform, just like under linux. The graphics are not anti-aliased and look fairly coarse but still readable. If I double click the object a get a "General error". Pasting of Chemdraw as OLE objects doesn't work (please fix this - this is so important). Openoffice inserts a tiny bitmap that can't be scaled up just as described. However the behaviour of NeoOffice is slightly different, and it inserts a huge diagram across the whole page that could be scaled down reasonable. No anti-aliasing is applied though. Under windows xp Openoffice can handle OLE well enough. ChemBioOffice is available as free trial from Cambridgesoft. I would love to have a fully functional OSS alternative package or at least built in support in OOO for cdx format. It really shows why proprietary software is evil. Please try to implement iWork style OLE support for Mac OOO port. I would be very grateful. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
