What about the -headless mode?
It still requires X.
By invoking OOo from commandline with -headless will be possible to run a
macro _without_ X being up and running? (but perhaps installed)
It certainly has to be installed. And there's no good reason why a
server should have X installed. Arend Beelen (ODF) tried that approach.
Here's a bit of his email:

First of all, there's no way to get OpenOffice.org to run on a Linux
server without having X installed. So, I started by loading a huge load
of crap on my server, just to satisfy OpenOffice.org. When I had done
that I tried using the command line interface of OOo which wouldn't
work because it couldn't connect to the X screen (why it really wants to
connect to X when running on the command-line, even with the headless
option, is beyond me). I read somewhere this could be solved by
running a VNC X server and let OOo connect to that, but that was
basically the point where I thought getting it to work would be more
trouble than it was worth.
