this is a small question.

Is it possible from within the api to insert an ole object from file,
just like it can be done using the "insert->object->insert object"  ?

I've been looking around, and as far as I can see this is not easy to do.

I've seen a workaround that uses the accessibility system that does
this, but this workaround is from my point of view terrible.

it is also possible to use the TextEmbedableObject but this require a
clsid  which I do not know (when using "insert->object->insert object" I
don't have to enter any clsid), but I have had problem finding out how
to get the external file "into" this object.

the reason I need this is that I'm trying to convert some documents from
microsoft office into openoffice and the microsoft office macros is
using a very simple call to do this.

Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject _
  Filename:=sFileName _
  LinkToFile:=False, _
  DisplayAsIcon:=True, _
  IconFileName:=sIkonfil, _
  IconLabel:="Label"

so, is there a simple way to do this in OOo.org ?
