------- Additional comments from ojenk...@openoffice.org Thu Jan 7 20:33:20 +0000 2010 ------- I've done some additional research into the problem which may help to figure out the cause and a solution. I created a DOCX file which contains a dozen or so embedded object types. When opening that file under OOo 3.2 rc1, all of those embedded objects except for two are replaced by the electrical icon I mentioned before. When I open that same file under OOo 3.0.1, I get an empty frame of the appropriate size where the image representations of those objects should go. Under OOo 3.2 rc1, the ObjectReplacements directory is empty which is why the plug icon exists. Based on what MRU said, it must be the default icon used for a corrupt or missing object. Under OOo 3.0.1, there is a file in the ObjectReplacements directory for each of the objects, but the files are only 64 bytes each and seem to be nothing more than an empty placeholder which is why the empty frames are there. I did notice that the DOCX file when unzipped has a "/word/media/" sub directory which contains a number of .emf and .png files which appear to be the image representation of the embedded objects. In an attempt to devise a work-around to the problem I started checking for correlations between the files in the ODT archive and the files in the DOCX archive. When you see "###", that simply means a number with one or more digits since all the object files in the DOCX and ODT have numbers after them. By comparing the Obj### files in the ODT archive against the oleObject### files in the "/word/embeddings/" sub directory of the DOCX archive I was able to figure out which files were equivalent. From there I could look at the DOCX xml files and associate an image in the "/word/media/" sub directory to an object in the ODT archive. The content.xml file in the ODT already includes the ObjectReplacements filenames in the XML structure for the images, but the valid images themselves don't exist in the ObjectReplacements directory. So to fix the problem, all I had to do was copy the relevant .emf and .png files from "/word/media/" in the DOCX archive into the "ObjectReplacements" directory of the ODT archive and rename those image files so that they matched up properly. I then had to add those files to manifest.xml. From there I zipped up the ODT directory and loaded the file into OOo. When I took the ODT file created using OOo 3.0.1 and modified it as described above, the ODT file looked almost identical to how the DOCX file looked under Office 2007 with the image representations of the OLE objects intact. However, when I took the ODT file created using OOo 3.2 rc1 and modified it as described above, the image representations in the ODT were smaller than they should have been. After doing more research I determined it was because the OOo 3.0.1 ODT file kept the correct dimensions and location of the image representations even though the relevant files didn't exist. Whereas the OOo3.2 rc1 ODT file completely replaced the image representations with the plug icon and therefore the size and locations were resent to the dimensions of the icon. Thus when I put the correct image back into the directory structure, it was still using the icon's dimensions which were smaller than the original images. I'm putting together the various test files I've created and mentioned in this comment and will upload them for other to look through later today. OOo 3.0.1 offers a better work-around for me since the image representation dimensions and locations can be recovered using the file swapping, but unfortunately there are other features in OOo 3.2 which I need that don't exist in OOo 3.0.1, so simply using the older version isn't an option. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
