No, not created by an external tool. You may know this already but for the record, When using writer (aka Word) in OpenOffice 2.4, the resultant .odt file created is actually a zip containing a structure and .xml documents. These xml files each have their own job of containing the data which makes up the overall .odt file. What I ended up finding I needed to do to create these files and zip them up into an .odt file was use all possible combinations necessary of the OpenDocument 1.1 specifications for each type of xml , settings, styles, manifest, content, meta. I followed the original OpenOffice.org-output style for producing the .odt as a zip file. I will say this once more with certain clarity 'The stylesheet is written by me, provided by me.' not automated by any xml tool (I know Oxygen can produce something similar), not borrowed or anything else. > > Ross, there is a similar situation with the old plugin > org.apache.forrest.plugin.OpenOffice.org-output > I wandered around svn history and it seems that there > have not been any real changes to this plugin.
