Sorry, I'm not being willfully dense here...I understand that if I'm doing this through the API, there has to be an instance of OOo running, but are you saying that the segment of the source responsible for reading in Doc (and the other segment, reseponsible for spitting out HTML) is so tightly coupled with the rest of the system as a whole that extracting those two segments isn't feasible, that saying "aha, THIS is the conversion function" wouldn't get you anywhere, because it depends on so much other stuff working to run? Dang, if that IS the case my manager isn't going to like that I'm shooting down the team's preferred cool new idea :-) Thanks, Kirk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
