Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office saving spreadsheets as images when saving as Word docx!?

As long as I maintain the object in an ODF format, as a document or a
template, it works as it should. It's only once LO saves it into an Office
2013 format, that it converts to an image. The Office 97 format preserves
the embedded spreadsheet(s).
