[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 118272] Writer can not extract OLE-embedded DOCX from DOC97 document

--- Comment #1 from Matti Aarnio <matti.aarnio at zmailer.org> ---
One part of document embedding structure is following:

DOC ( DOC ( DOCX ))

calling these as "doc1", "doc2", and "docx3" below.

Writer 6.1 Beta 2 (61b2) saves nicely the first embedded level document
("doc2"), but none of documents embedded inside it ("docx3).

This writer 6.1b2 is able to open (left double-click) the first embedded level
("doc2") showing that there is inner embedded document ("docx3").  But it fails
to open that inner document.  (Opens it with Linux KDE Ark.)

When MS Office is used to save the first embedded level document, then Writer
61b2 is able to open the second level (now first level) embedded DOCX, but is
unable to save it from the context menu (mouse right click).  However it is
possible to save it from embedded editor.


When I opened the "doc1", and then embedded opened "doc2", I was able to save
the "doc2" except the resulting file did not contain embedded document.


So it looks like:
- Context menu on OLE object should always have "Save Copy as.." action even
  when that document is otherwise of unknown type.
- Saving (/File/Save Copy As../) of embedded open needs to save also all
  possible embedded documents inside that level.
