Hi All,

When scripting OOo, say using python with oowriter
listening to socket, is it possible to have the entire
thing running without needing to load the gui?  If so,
would that speed up the loading time.  I ask this
because I notice each time my python script open a
document, a new oowriter screen is loaded, and the
loading is quite slow.  I wonder if somebody only need
to use oowriter to do some background process job, is
it possible?
Thanks.

Yours truly,

You can load a document as hidden by setting the property "Hidden" to True. This assumes that you will not attempt to make the document visible latter.

You can also load open office without a GUI, but I do not know how to do that off hand.

If you do load the document so that it is visible, you can lock the controllers so that they do not display any output, which usually speeds things up.

Finally, you are better off asking these sorts of questions on the [email protected] mailling l8ist.

Now I must go bathe a baby.
