I am assuming you are using C++ to code to the API. This is not as common, and most of the tools are done for other languages like Java, that said. You can read the Development guide which includes information about which interface to use, or what tool to use. Even a Macro could be much easier to do if all you want is to code to the document as opposed to the application.
There are many guides that talk about all the things you just mentioned here are some links: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/API/Samples/Java/Writer/TextDocumentStructure https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Using_Cpp_with_the_OOo_SDK https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/UNO_automation_with_a_binary_(executable)#Create_a_new_Document On 7/8/14, DEWI - N.
