I would have thought the difference between "open" and "insert" was 
pretty clear (yes, I know there are plenty of clueless lusers out 
there). But it applies to pretty much ALL objects - if you "insert" then 
LO keeps the object unaltered, if you "open" then LO converts the object 
to a form that it can edit.

This is the way I understood MS originally intended inserting to work - 
okay they didn't bother implementing it properly... but that is the way 
LO should work across the board. Think of putting spreadsheet data into 
a Word document - do you embed/insert an Excel spreadsheet, or 
cut-n-paste into a Word table?

I don't know to what extent it's been fixed, but I think a lot of user 
confusion is down to various Office apps being inconsistent in how they 
behave - LO is (or was) a big offender imho, but then MS Office was 
likely worse ...
