            Bug ID: 135669
           Summary: EDITING: Drag and drop from Windows Explorer to Writer
                    does not make OLE object
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo

                OS: All

Screenshot of the problem in Writer: I dropped a file there, can you see it?

When a file is dropped from the Windows Explorer to Word it gets inserted as an
OLE object at the drop point.
When a file is dropped to Writer nothing happens.

It would be intuitive for users to have this behavior. In our environment many
people use this method to create a "main" document with a bunch of attachments
embedded into it then send this "main" document around as a single file.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open a new document in both Word and in Writer
    2. Drag an XLSX (or other non-text office document) file into the new
documents from the Windows Explorer

Actual results:
In Writer nothing happens.

Expected results:
OLE object should be inserted.
