Created attachment 124642 [details] ODS file with OLE objects for different filetype and methods Hi, The attached ODS file has OLE objects embedded created with 4 different methods. In the second and the last column (with ICON), it's not possible to open the OLE object for the XLS, ZIP, DOC, PPT file. The window "Create a package" is opened instead of opening the file. Steps to reproduce the first and second column: 1. New Calc; 2. Insert -> Objects -> OLE Objects -> Object Type: Further Objects -> Create from File -> "Browse" to select any XLS, PPT, DOC, ... file -> Check the "Display as icon" checkbox -> Click OK. If the checkbox "Display as icon" is not checkbox, the OLE object can be opened (first column). Steps to reproduce the third and fourth column: 1. New Calc; 2. Insert -> Objects -> OLE Objects -> Object Type: Further Objects -> Create New -> Select "Package" in the list -> Check the "Display as icon" checkbox -> Click OK. 3. The window "Create a package" will appear 4. "Browse" to select any XLS, PPT, DOC, ... file -> Click Next -> Click Finish If the checkbox "Display as icon" is not checkbox, the OLE object can be opened (third column). This bug can be reproduced on Windows with LibreOffice : - 4.3.5.2 x86 - 4.3.7.2 x86 - 5.1.3.1 x86 - 5.2.0.0.alpha1 Observation: If I create an object with a displayed icon (second case) on a computer having Microsoft Office 2007, the OLE object can be opened from LibreOffice but through Excel/Word 2007 instead of LibreOffice. And on another computer without Microsoft Office 2007, the OLE object will be opened with LibreOffice. See the attachment tdf2.ods
