That is a good idea. Open Office *is* written in Java. I was curious so I looked around on the web for some code examples and the ones I found were in Java. So, in theory at least, you can create the Java objects in CF and use the code examples as a guide.
Here are some examples that I found http://weblogs.java.net/blog/tchangu/archive/2005/12/open_office_jav.html http://openofficejava.blogspot.com/2009/05/openofficeorg-api.html And there is a OO developer Guide. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide G!
