It is a known limitation of Writer that it can't insert object groups containing OLE objects. If you try to do so in OOo1.x you will see that in this case the OLE objects are dropped. In OOo2.x this dropping is not done and the result is a disaster. This issue is fixed for OOo2.0.2, but of course only to the state of OOo1.x: OLE objects are dropped in this case. We hope to improve this in OOo3.0. Until then please always transfer OLE objects from Draw/Impress/Calc to Writer individually, not grouped together with other objects.
