Thank you - I will try that.

Hi Mark
Thank you for that advice but what I am looking for is a file of
all of the coordinates so that I could do additional things with
them outside openoffice.
I am using this for architectural work as an alternative to autocad.
Clients love the colour coding it enables.
Helps to be 101% clear on what you're after!
The .odg file is just a zip file in disguise. Extract the
content.xml component and parse it. You'll find chunks like
<draw:line draw:style-name="gr1" draw:text-style-name="P2"
draw:layer="layout" svg:x1="5cm" svg:y1="4.5cm" svg:x2="16cm" svg:y2="12.5cm">
<text:p text:style-name="P1">Line the first</text:p>
</draw:line>
describing the lines in your document. (The text is what you can
type into Draw after double-clicking the line.)
(BTW top posting is also frowned upon in many circles. It might be
wise to 'go with the flow'.)
