Firstly i d like to thank you for your quick response..Starting from the last what i meant was that i am able to open a file from the API using the loadComponentFromURL method,but i was looking for a method of the API to pass my XSLT filter package as a parameter ,lets say, so that the transformation is applied prior to opening the file and when my file loads it's and odt file , not an xml that it was in the beginning..
Is this possible ? and how ? I have found many coding examples which use export filters , i just want to use the import and i couln;t find anything relevant\ Thanx again.. I would so much like to see the blog that u mentioned ,if you could provide me the link.
