[ubuntu-za] OLE object in OOO Spreadsheet

[William Walter Kinghorn]

Hi All,

What might be a possible problem

An OLE is where the program ( Excel ) links to a file ( in this case a tif file ) from somewhere else ( eg under c:\mydoc\file.tif )

on linux, we cant get to a file under c:\mydoc\file.tif

So, you need to find where that file is, copy it to where you need it, and link ( OLE ) to it via OOo

This might be the problem

William

Can you send a screenshot of what this is supposed to look like in
Excel?  I see a bunch of pictures of empty boxes in column M, which
are saved as pictures of boxes when I save the document as html.



Hi Adrianna,

The file looks exactly the same in Excel, but those "empty" boxes, when double-clicked, open the .tif graphics file, which in this instance is a scan of a financial statement that applies to the other info in that row of the spreadsheet.
