Comment 2 for bug 97292

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.
