Samples of XLS/XLSX embedded in DOC/DOCX formats

When an object is embedded, there is the checbox: "Display as icon."
If a spreadsheet is embedded, the behavior on double-click is different based
on the above setting:
- if it's unchecked, the table is shown, and can be edited in place,
- is it is checked, an icon is shown, and a new spreadsheet application window
opens for editing.

In Writer, there are the following issues with opening combinations of MS
Office formats of spreadsheets embedded in documents:
- DOCX with embedded XLSX: double-clicking the icon opens the file for editing
in-place instead of the expected new window,
- DOC with embedded XLSX: double-clicking the icon opens Excel if installed.

Both XLSX in DOC and XLS in DOC open in a new Calc window, though the windows
are opened slightly differently.

Observed with LO 5.4beta2 & 4.4.0.3 / Windows 7.

Attaching a zip of four sample files with the four combinations.
