This is a large change so please beware and report problems in this area. I have done some testing with import/export ( for calc and writer but NOT powerpoint ). Ideally there should be no ( negative ) difference between import/export of OLE controls between master and 3.4. However there are some known issues
a) there are at least some problems with reading the result of exported MorphDataControl(s) where a MorphDataControl is one of the six controls: CheckBox, ComboBox, ListBox, OptionButton, TextBox and ToggleButton ( these all share the same export routine ) The remaining controls types CommandButtons, ScrollBars and SpinButtons seem to export ( and be readable from Microsoft office )
I of course will fix the export of the above controls but as the patch is so big I really need to commit it as it is getting hard to maintain.
thanks, Noel[1] there is just now a small piece of code remaining in msocximex, to remove it looks like some changes would be required to the powerpoint filter and some code that is present in the filter module would need to move out to sd.
