Openoffice 3.1 and embedded PDF problem

[chaseguard]

I cannot get openoffice writer (3.1.0) to display embedded pdfs. I (using OOO) open an ms-word .doc file with pdfs pasted in the document. Double click on the pdf OLE objects and ooo-writer produces a "General Error" message. When I click on the pdf OLE using my Windoze box (also equipped with OOO) the pdf will lauch in the pdf application (Foxit). Any ideas why my Gentoo is not behaving in the same manner?
