Matthias, Thank you for your answer.
Embedded objects in the OOo packed file format are complete OOo documents with one exception: all objects share the manifest.xml of the container document, they don't have their own one (and thus they also don't have their own Meta-Inf folder).
The only difference I could find was in the "view-settings" of the setting.xml files. The values for the "VisibleArea..." items in the OLE files seemed to be "included" in the values set for the main document.
But I could not find a way to link the values to anything visible in the documents themselves.
The question I have is how to parse this information so that an external tool accesses _only_ the visible part of the embedded documents, based on the "view-settings" values.
