------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jan 25 03:02:59 -0800 2006 ------- In MS Word, when you go to "Insert -> Object..." you get a window where you can select different kinds of objects to insert in your document. Very similar to way you do it in OOo. However, in Word there is an option to insert the object as an icon that isn't available in OOo. (Sorry, I don't have a Word here with the English interface to check the exact name of the option. But it is very obvious, on the right of the window.) When you insert an object (say, an embedded text document or a spreadsheet) as an icon, its contents don't appear embedded in a frame in the usual way. You get an icon representing the document. When you double-click on the icon, the embedded document is openned in another window for editing. These feature is very much used by some of our users here and I'd like to see it supported in OOo. BTW, when you import a Word document containing such icons OOo tries to preserve the Word functionality as I gather from issue #60487. If it can import correctly such things I think it should support their creation as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
