Andrew mentioned a macro to do this, but you could possibly also do it by adding your own UNO component ( derived from one or 2 of the classes in the UCB ( Universal Content Broker) ). This should be possible to do using various programming languages (e.g. C++, java, python, and maybe even StarBasic). To get more info on this have a look at http://api.openoffice.org for the "Developers guide" for the UCB chapter. Note that this is a large document for a very rich framework, so it will obviosly take some time to read and understand. The best mailing list to ask about more specific info would be [email protected] (for UCB related issues) and [email protected] for more general UNO programming and component development. I think that you will find that there are other quite interested in this topic also. -- CPH : openoffice.org contributor Maybe your question has been answered already? http://user-faq.openoffice.org/#FAQ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
