I don't know that swt stuff, but it smells like OLE embedding. In
general you can embedd OOo documents into OLE containers. "In general"
means that different OLE containers have different implementation
qualities and different ways to handle the unclear parts of the OLE
protocol, so it's impossible to predict if a particular client works
with OOo, even if you know that it works with other particular client.
You should be able to insert OOo objects into e.g. Wordpad (you can try
it). But that doesn't mean that it works in all other OLE containers.
The OLE implementation of OOo follows the MS documentation very
strictly, but obviously that doesn't mean a lot.
Perhaps you can find something about the resulting error code in the
Internet, that could give a hint what's going wrong here.
Ciao,
Mathias
