I'm really not sure whether this is a SWT Bug but I was asked to report this:

I would like to embed OpenOffice 1.9.79 in a Java program using SWT. So
far everthing works fine, the window appears but when I try (or better
SWT trys) to save the edited document by oleClientSite.save(file, true)
it seems the resulting document is not complete. As soon as I open the
so saved document OpenOffice asks me about a filter to select.

If I try the same thing by using MS Word it works fine (although the Word
instance will not be killed but this is different topic)

You need to have OpenOffice 2.0 beta installed. Run the Snippet, SWT should open
with an embedded OO window, type something, select file menu, exit and try to
open the generated test.odt with openoffice. In my case it asks you to select a
filter. Also, no matter how much you edit or write the written file seems to be
always identical.

Thanks  -- Tobias
