Howdy,

Support for that is built in and is available from a command line or 
script as you prefer.


Here is a good overview of that:

programs?

For example,

I have many old files in various formats like .doc, .xls, .ppt,
Pagemaker, etc. etc. I have concerns about future compatibility and
access to those documents.

I would to run perhaps a bash script on a folder to open each file in
the folder and then save it in the appropriate ODF 2.0 format.

Is there a way to script LO like that?

Thank you in advance.

[libreoffice-users] Scripting LO

Hello.

I see that there are a number of ways to script LO  within the program 
itself, but is it possible to automate LO open file and save as odt, 
ods, odp?  Something like Applescript used to be able to manipulate 
programs?


For example,

I have many old files in various formats like .doc, .xls, .ppt, 
Pagemaker, etc. etc. I have concerns about future compatibility and 
access to those documents.


I would to run perhaps a bash script on a folder to open each file in 
the folder and then save it in the appropriate ODF 2.0 format.


Is there a way to script LO like that?

Thank you in advance.
