I thought the Preview mode is the right choice because you wrote that you wanted a preview window. Obviously that's not the case. Well, it's a preview with respect to my application, but I still want to offer the user the ability to see all of the document, so indeed OOo's notion of Preview mode doesn't seem to be what I want. So I think that the only way to go is switching of the UI explicitly. First you should load the document in readonly mode and then you need to switch off the Layout Manager object of the frame you are loading the document into. The Layout Manager is a property of the frame that - surprise! ;-) - is named LayoutManager (IIRC). You can call lock() and setVisible(False) on it. This will remove all toolbar and the menu. I'll try that, thanks. Matthias - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you loaded your file directly with loadComponentFromURL or so you could try to add a property Preview with value True. I don't know the bean API by memory so I don't know if there is something comarable. You can also disable the menus and toolbars Juergen Best regards, Mathias - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know the bean API by memory so I don't know if there is something comarable. Thanks, that seems to do the trick. But there's one problem. The view opened that way does not have any toolbars for scrolling, even if the document is not fully visible. Is that a bug? Do I have to do something special to get the toolbars to appear? Previews don't have scrollbars in OOo and a preview in OOo always has a fixed part of the document. I thought the Preview mode is the right choice because you wrote that you wanted a preview window.

[dev] Preview window with OOoBean ?
I'm developing a Java app that let's the user fill out a form. The Java app uses this data to create a document in Writer. I would like to offer the user a preview window that integrates as seemlessly as possible with the Java app. I thought I could use the OOoBean for that purpose, however I have the problem that the bean always contains the complete Writer GUI, with menu bar, toolbars,... Even worse, if the user had the Styles and Formatting window open the last time he used writer, then when I show the OOoBean, I get a Styles and Formatting window, too.
