What I can't figure out from the use case is why isn't Seth developing a plug-in for Microsoft Word if it is about Word documents and Microsoft Word is being used to view the document already?
So, what else is there to the use case that would make it clear why code from OO.o is needed? - Dennis E.

OOo should have PyUno and - if it is a build provided by Oracle - its own version of Python and both should fit to each other. Admittedly I'm not completely sure about that, if you have bad luck, even the Oracle builds didn't contain an own Python. But if you build OOo by yourself, you should be able to make sure that OOo's own copy of Python is used in the build (and thus put into the installation set) and not the version of the system. See what configure offers you with regard to Python. Regards, Mathias Am 10.10.2011 05:41, schrieb Seth Shich: > HI Mathias, > > Thanks for the information.
