Since OOo2.0.1, MS Word files with embedded MS Word files no longer crash OOo
when they are opened (see issue #45333). This has exposed a significant
regression with respect to OOo 1.1.4 which makes embedded text documents
(specifically MS Word files) un-usable in practice.

In OOo 1.1.4, an embedded MS Word file is represented with an icon. Double
clicking on the icon opens the embedded file in a new window. This is the same
behaviour as MS Office 2000.

In OOo 2.0.1, an embedded MS Word file is represented by what looks like the top
left of the document. Double clicking on representation opens the embedded file
in the same window as the outer/containing document. The view on the embedded
file has the same size as the representation (i.e. very small). There does not
seem to be any way to open the embedded file in a new window as was the default
with OOo 1.1.4.

While opening the embedded file in the same window as the outer/containing
document may be reasonable for small fragments of text, it is **totally**
unreasonable when the embedded file is a 10 page document. 

Please revert to the OOo 1.1.4 behaviour or at least make it possible to obtain
the OOo 1.1.4 behaviour.

This problem description is specific to text documents because I receive a lot
of these. I don't receive documents with embedded spreadsheets although I guess
the problem would be the same. It must be possible to open a substantial
embedded spreadsheet in a new window.
