            Bug ID: 118272
           Summary: Writer can not extract OLE-embedded DOCX from DOC97
                    document
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.7.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: matti.aarnio at zmailer.org

I have received a DOC97 (".doc") document that contains a bunch of DOC97 and
DOCX documents.

LibreOffice Writer can open DOC97 and XLS97 documents inside the DOC97, but
fails to recognize DOCX and XLSX documents when they are OLE-embedded.

This looks like a generic issue in file opening, where context is telling what
kind of files are possible to open -- or even to extract out of another
document.

When on a ".doc" document I get right button context menu on OLE-embedded files
offering "Save Copy as .." of the file. There is also "Edit".

On same ".doc" document right clicking a ".docx" file does not offer neither
Edit, nor Save actions.

If the file type is unknown for some reason, maybe Edit could be omitted, but
why the Save action is not offered in all OLE-embedded files?


When "Save Copy as" is offered, it does not get the filename information from
embedding wrapper, and default file name for saving is therefore "Untitled N".





This is probably very old issue, even 3.x, but I am reporting what I have at my
workstation.
