Hi!

Why inserted bitmaps can't be viewed in OpenOffice?

I run my script and add 2 images to each of 10 worksheets.
The final filesize (450 Kb) reflects that they were there, but
none shows when opened in OO.
When I save back, the filesize falls down to a mere 20 to 30 Kb!

Recently, I've opened the original file in Excel and the images
were there!

Is this a bug within OO??

Best regards,
Marcus

This happens with Gnumeric as well, but it is mainly a bug in
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel since it is using an Excel 5 type images
embedded in an Excel 97 file.

This will be fixed in the next release of the module since these images
also conflict with cell comments.
