I opened a document this morning that I was working on during the past couple of months, and all the graphs and equations within the document have been replaced with OLE placeholders. Is there a way to re-instate them? Are they stored separately from the main document and if so, could anyone tell me where? Hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks
Minsky
Are the docs they refer to still available?
I can open the document and all the text and tables are ok, but the equations and graphs which I entered using the built-in formula editor and graphs editor are missing.
Maybe you are missing some extensions?
Check with
Tools >> Extension Manager…
one of the Libreoffice calc version does have graph related issues
i may affect writer too
I would rollback to previous Libreoffice and check whether the doc works

somewhere (i do not remember where) i recently read of a bug in the most
recent releases of LO…are you using the LO which came with your
openSUSE (what version openSUSE is it you use–and what version of LO)
or did you recently upgrade it??
if you did, i think i would begin by rolling back to the previous
(working) version of LO…

Yes, best roll back to 3.5 as 3.6 is broken - at least the openSUSE
version is.

Thanks for the replies guys, I’m using openSUSE 12.2 with KDE desktop and LO 3.5 build-413. I’ve been working on the document for the past month and have frequently opened it and updated it with a mixture of text, graphs and equations without any problems until yesterday morning. Prior to starting work on the document, I did upgrade to LO 3.6, but after having problems with saving the first graph, I rolled back to 3.5. Do you know if the OLE objects are embedded within the document or if they are stored in a separate file? Is there any way that the document can be repaired?

if, when you saw the graph was missing if you didn’t save in 3.6 it
should be there in the earlier working version…
otherwise you may have to use your backup…

Thank God for backups. It’s still a pain repairing the document from the last backup. Does anyone know what causes this, and if the OLE objects are recoverable?
You may try this
Recover lost or corrupt LibreOffice doc files (or any deleted media files)http://software.opensuse.org/package/foremost
Check this out too

Thanks Vazhavandan, I have no problem opening the document - it’s all there apart from the missing OLE objects. I could try Foremost, but I’d prefer to try easier options first - if there are any. I’ve since managed to re-build the document from the last backup so the crisis is over, but I’m concerned that this may happen again. What I’d like to know is, are the OLE objects linked to a separate file so that I could recover them from there?
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Insert_OLE_Object
OLE is object linking and embedding
After pasting an object in a document or spreadsheet the file size increases indicating that the object has become a part of the document
if you link the object to the orignal file then any changes made to the Object"file" will be reflected in the pasted document

The latest versions of 3.6.3 in Factory and 12.2-Stable repos have been
fixed and I’ve verified this wrt Calc. I do not make much use of Write
so have not checked it out.
