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! -- various incoming sites blocked because of spam; see http://www.scottsonline.org.uk for a list and openpgp crypto key (key fingerprint 2ACC 9F21 5103 F68C 7C32 9EA8 C949 81E1 31C9 1364) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
