after sending this mail I did also investigate the solution with dispatcher,
but I realized I couldn't understand how to move the viewcursor to the
correct location... moreover I mean to use it in a headless environ and I
wasn't sure that this is the best solution. Anyhow this is what I did:
table = document.TextTables.getByIndex(0)
cell = table.getCellByPosition(0,1)
controller=document.getCurrentController()
frame=controller.getFrame()
view_cursor=controller.getViewCursor()
... how to move the cursor to the cell??
dispatcher = context.ServiceManager.
createInstance('com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper')
dispatcher.executeDispatch(frame, '.uno:EntireRow', '', 0, tuple())
dispatcher.executeDispatch(frame, '.uno:Copy', '', 0, tuple())
dispatcher.executeDispatch(frame, '.uno:Paste', '', 0, tuple())
dispatcher.executeDispatch(frame, '.uno:JumpToNextCell', '', 0, tuple())

The case I'm dealing with now is simple but as it is part of a template
system that is public I can't make assumptions on how complex will the real
templates be.

Can you explain what you mean by "new provisions may exist for copying text
content". I think this is what I was looking for but I was not able to find
a way neather for copying text and style nor for pasting it!...
thanks for your time
