WordML question

[David Thielen]

Hello;

In a WordML file, when there is an OLE object, there are two binary pieces:

The oledata.mso appears to be the OLE object - it's for the Equation
editor in the example I am playing with. And I think that is of no use to me.

The second is 08000001.wmz I think this is some kind of general picture of
the output - for when the program that created the OLE object is not on the
system viewing the document. I read the WordML docs but all it says about
bindata is it is a binary representation of the data - no info on the format.

So my questions is: What formats can binData hold? And what is the .wmz
format?

Hi

I think the OLE Object data coding approach is not public.
Usually to read the data, we need to load it into Word Object Modal and
then active the OLE Object, so that we can use the OLE Object's Server COM
Modal to read the data.

e.g. if the OLE Object is a Excel Sheet, then we can get the OLE Object's
data via the Excel's Object Modal.

We did not recommend to read the binary data in our own application, it
should be the OLE server's job to decoding the binary data into a proper
Object.

Also I think you may try to post in the newsgroup below, where has many
experts on Office XML.
