Hi Anders, since noone else does I'll try to help a little.

You can only use Delphi to control OO.o if there were a "compiler bridge". See http://udk.openoffice.org for more info on what this thingy is (sort of abstraction layer and parameter mangling device). I only know it does take a hardcore programmer to write such a bridge.

Have a look at the ressources pointed to from http://development.openoffice.org for Delphi, there are examples and AFAIR a complete wrapper or set of Delphi components written by a french guy. That one looked somewhat sophisticated to me, I assume it does work.
