Curious about the Windows version of AOO and its support via OLE/COM:

Trying to get at the published interfaces for e.g.
"soffice.StarWriterDocument.6" does not
return any published methods, properties, events and constants as is the
case with MS Office. So
wondering whether there are other ProgIDs for AOO on Windows registered that
one should use
instead? (Usually there are version independent ProgIDs which seems to not
be the case here.)
* Is there an AOO typelib available that would supply the published interfaces
usable via OLE? If
so what would be the name and how would one install them?

This may not be what you're looking for but I found this about an OLE bridge
[1].
From the spec...
"The bridge is automatically used when someone access the Office through the COM mechanism. This
is done by creating the service manager component, that has the ProgId
"com.sun.star.ServiceManager". The service manager can then be used to create additional UNO
services. There is no explicit mapping from COM to UNO or vice versa necessary. All objects which
have been obtained directly or indirectly from the service manager are already COM objects. "

Thank you very much for these pointers, will have to digest them, which will
take a while ...
Best regards
