First, it is impossible to prevent direct API access to the OOo documents. Reimplementing the model would basically be possible - but remember that you need the ability to extract content from the document to be able to save it (most of our ODF export code uses the API also). Also some features in the application are using the API and you would break them. Besides that it would be a huge effort of several person years to implement that. Doesn't make sense IMHO. Besides that using an Open Source application with an Open Standard file format and not allowing users to extract content of their documents by extensions, macros etc. is not the best idea. ;-) Ciao, Mathias -- Mathias Bauer (mba) - Project Lead OpenOffice.org Writer OpenOffice.org Engineering at Sun: http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS Please don't reply to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
