How would I get openoffice to do this information abstraction bit of the task?
If I was you, I wouldn't. I would whip something up with C or Perl or
whatever to do the job directly and wouldn't try to do that with OpenOffice.
Especially when you're going to save the result in a simple CSV file.
Except his source iirc was M$ .doc files.
He could use OOo to convert .doc to .txt, then use perl to munge the
latter. The conversion can be done from the command line with suitable
incantations.
A quick search showed that there are some doc2txt converters available.
