Created attachment 134039 [details] Samples of DOC/DOCX embedded in DOC/DOCX formats For basic principle see bug 108544, which is about tables embedded in documents in MS Office formats with "Display as icon" checked. This report is about documents embedded in documents. The expectation is that upon double-click the embedded documents open and can be edited in a separate Writer window. - DOCX with embedded DOCX: not the icon is shown, and double-clicking the icon opens the file for editing in-place instead of the expected new window, - DOC with embedded DOCX: double-clicking the icon opens Word if installed, - DOC with embedded DOC: double-clicking the icon opens a tiny Writer window in web view. DOC with embedded DOCX behaves as expected. Observed with LO 5.4beta2 & 4.4.0.3 / Windows 7. Attaching a zip of four sample files with the four combinations.
Confirmed in Version: 5.5.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 6ab249ea6aecef5d3f35d624622a368061cad9c3 CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.8; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); Calc: group
A correction to the description: "DOC with embedded DOCX behaves as expected." <= This was supposed to be DOCX with embedded DOC. Additional detail: DOC with embedded DOCX opens Word if installed, gives General OLE error if Word is not installed.
Created attachment 134457 [details] Samples of DOC/DOCX embedded not as icon in DOC/DOCX formats Here are samples with documents that aren't embedded as icons for comparison. Apparently in Word they all open in separate windows. Let this bug report only be about the original files that are embedded as icons (even those could be split up further, but I didn't want to open a million bug reports right away). Interestingly, spreadsheets are edited in place when they are not embedded as icons. Is that the only distinction, or can documents also be embedded that way? I don't know at the moment.
