My wife has a need to produce certificate documents for some of her 
pupils. She was making these from a small number of OOo writer 
templates, editing by hand to insert correct names and dates. However, 
even such a simple procedure proved fraught for a non-computer person, 
and was too error-prone and time-consuming.

As a workaround, I've made a perl script to edit a template's 
content.xml component directly, taking input from a simple Tk gui. This 
works, but it's a singularly nasty and inelegant hack.

Is there any easy way of building an OOo document directly under 
program control? Something allowing /easy/ programmatic control instead 
of gui control of the document components?

Any ideas welcome; thanks!
