Hi Svante, Thank you for your time again.
I tried to see how can I do merge documents using OpenOffice, but I didn't see how. The only thing that I found from the help is Edit -> Changes -> Merge Documents but this gave me an error saying "can not merge documents" when I select different document. I think this is not its target. So if you can help me in two things: 1- How can I merge documents manually 2- When I see the different in the context.xml , how would I found the needed API convent to do it. You see I am still new with ODF so I may need more detailed guidance (sorry) Thanks & Best Regards / السلام عليكم Ahmed Ibrahim MBA ,Senior IT Architect, SWG Cairo Lab Services BPM Client Solution Manager, MEA IT Architect Egypt Profession Lead Mobile: +20 100 1615 506 From: Svante Schubert <[email protected]> To: Ahmed I Ibrahim/Egypt/IBM@IBMEG, [email protected], Date: 04/15/2014 12:37 PM Subject: Re: How to insert a text document into another text document? Hi Ahmed, we just missed each other by mail. If there are still questions after my last mail and perhaps references http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/source.html Please do not hesitate to write again ;) Best regards, Svante Am 15.04.2014 12:29, schrieb Ahmed I Ibrahim: > Many thanks Svante for your input. > > In my debugging for this problem I went through this method and and it was > working just fine.
