Matthias,

The only difference I could find was in the "view-settings" of the 
setting.xml files. The values for the "VisibleArea..." items in the OLE 
files seemed to be "included" in the values set for the main document.

But I could not find a way to link the values to anything visible in 
the documents themselves.

The question I have is how to parse this information so that an 
external tool accesses _only_ the visible part of the embedded 
documents, based on the "view-settings" values.
