Created attachment 30869 [details] Patch for embedding OLE1.0 package With this patch it's possible to include arbitrary files into HSSF spreadsheets via the OLE 1.0 package element. This patch should be applied with #49658 for EMF images to work. Originally I've posted the patch @ stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16910503/embed-files-into-excel-using-apache-poi/17757439#17757439), where you can a few more implementation issues.
Thanks for patch . applied in r 1531623
