well, first of all, the macro text explicitly says:
cURL = ConvertToURL( cFile )
' Open the document. Just blindly assume that the document
' is of a type that OOo will correctly recognize and open
' without specifying an import filter.
so I assumed using it on .txt files wouldn't make any difference. Was I wrong?
Second, both my questions are independent from the input
format, so maybe they would interest also people
who want to do conversion from those .doc formats

?? No (*), but I am not going to File->Open. It would take
days.
I explicitly said I am looking for a macro
because I have a _looot_ of .txt files to convert,
scattered around in several levels of subfolders (and
even the .odt versions should remain in the same folders).
so, is it possible to modify that macro as requested?
Where are the right tutorials/web pages to read to add
those functionalities? Is there some similar macro
from which to paste code?
TIA,
o.
(*)I just need those files to all have the same page format, paragraph type,
font, spacing, hyphenation....
that I have defined in a non standard OpenDocument
template which I created. Hence the first question
