Tried reading the .bin file with 7-Zip-Jbindings, no go. It wasn't recognized as any of
ARJ BZIP_2 CAB CHM CPIO CDEB ISO LZH NSIS RAR SPLIT TAR Z ZIP Egads. -----Original Message----- From: Dmitry Goldenberg Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 1:15 PM To: POI Users List Subject: RE: How to extract embedded files from Office 07 1. I got two .bin files, oleObject1 and oleObject2. 2. the UNIX file utility spits out "Microsoft Office Document" 3. the magic number on .bin is d0 cf 11 e0 a1 b1 1a e1 which explains #2. 4. this seems to be the BIN/ISO format. Would I be able to read it with something like 7-Zip-Jbinding perhaps? Is there an easier way to decompress the file/extract contents?

Two things I'd suggest trying: * if you embed two zip files, do you get oleObject1 and oleObject2, or just a bigger oleObject1 ? * if you unzip the parent ooxml file, and run the unix "file" utility against oleObject1, what does it say the file is?
