OOXML: import of ActiveX form controls broken
Last modified: 2017-05-20 09:30:34 UTC
OOo cannot load ActiveX controls (embedded in sheets) from XLSX files, if the file has been created with Excel 2007 SP2. This has been implemented as new feature for OOo 3.2. Reason: the controls are stored in binary format instead of XML format as before SP2. I am still not sure if SP2 itself is the reason for this change or anything else in the MSO installation I am using.

fixed in OOO320/calc32stopper5 (OOo 3.2)
Created attachment 65630 [details] OOXML test document with form controls in binary stream representation
Created attachment 65631 [details] OOXML test document with form controls with pictures in binary stream representation
The attached documents contain all supported ActiveX form controls which are stored in binary streams instead of XML streams as before. Note that the first document contains old-style form controls on the last sheet. These controls are currently not supported and will not be imported.
