Hi Corrie, 

My apologies. I see now that as soon as I save the file using Calc, even
leaving the format as Excel, all of the embedded objects are obviously
stripped from it - thus what was a 376KB file is now only 11KB.

Not sure how to proceed with getting you a sample, given the nature of
the data.

When I open a copy of the file with the embedded objects using Excel in
Wine, I'm told "Cannot start the source application for this object".

Robin
