Using fully updated Ubuntu Feisty—so OOo 2.2.0~rc3~oof680m10-0ubuntu3 at
the moment.  However, this has been a persistent thing—I just never got
around to putting the feature request in like I had meant to long ago,
considering that the use case for editing data like that did not come up
very often.  For example, I just opened something from an NNTP feed that
was attached—a Microsoft Word document—by double-clicking it from within
Evolution.  The file doesn’t seem to show up in the output from “lsof”,
but it is read-only.  If I wanted to edit it, I would have to re-save
it, which is fine.  In this case, I don’t want to edit the file.
However, when I get my grade sheets in, I like to just use the
spreadsheet to calculate percentages so I can see where I stand as of
those grade sheets.  Instead, I either need to open up bc, gcalctool, or
resave the document before I can input new formulas.  It is just a minor
inconvenience, but the more frequently such a situation occurs, the more
of a time-eater it gets to be. :-)

Attached is the screen shot of the document as it was opened from
Evolution.
