Created attachment 203734 [details] Example file from Writer When a Calc file is linked into a Writer file as OLE object and saved, Writer upon the following opening it asks about updating the embedded file, which works. Another expectation would be that the Edit Links dialogs Update button can do the same, but it is not usable for this goal. 1. Download both attached files next to each other 2. Open the odt file 3. Writer asks about updating embedded files, if the Options - Writer - General - "Update Links on open" is set to the default On request setting. Answer No. 3. Go to Edit - External Links 4. In the dialog, press Update -> Nothing happens, only the document is set to modified state. I would expect that if the Options - Writer - General - "Update Links on open" is set to On request and on opening the update is rejected, or the Never option is used, then the Edit Links dialog still allows refreshing the embedded files.
