Object further objects could not be inserted

[rtt42]

I'm getting the Error message quoted in the Subject line. I insert Visio OLE objects regularly into my odt files but it has stopped working! I have upgraded to 4.1.2 but to no avail. Can anyone shine some light on this. All searches so far have led me nowhere!

I'm running Windows 7 Pro SP1

I have five questions:

- What "Error message" do you get?
- Which "Subject line" do you mean?
- How the Visio OLE objects you insert?

- Can you upload two example .odt file here? (A working one from the past, and a new, what was edited with the new version of the AOO.)

- Have you tried the LibreOffice? (It has higher compatibility with foreign file formats)

The error message is "Object further objects could not be inserted"
i.e. the subject line of the post!
I normally insert by:
insert\object\OLE object then
Further objects then
Microsoft Visio Drawing

Has been working fine for years!!!

Now suddenly I get the error message "Object further objects could not be inserted"

In frustration I fired up the laptop Windows 10 with OO 4.1.2
I loaded the same file and was able to insert a Visio drawing as per normal. Saved the file and went back to the Win7 machine.
The file loaded fine and the Visio drawing is correctly displayed.
Double-clicking on the object should open Visio but instead I get "General OLE error".

So I moved the file over to CentOS 7 with LibreOffice. I was able to load the file and double clicking the object opened LibreDraw which was interesting! (No Visio) on linux!

So the file seems to be fine. I can move it between systems and it behaves reasonably. On Win7 though I can no longer open OLE objects or insert new ones
