OpenOffice Automation delphi

Question

We want to automate OpenOffice, When i search on internet couldnot find a end-to-end help for that and delphi examples are too less. Our intention is to insert document variables and replace the document variable with there values and copying paragraphs etc.

Can any one help me to find an end-to-end help or a pas file like word2000.pas where i can find all the word routines.

Thanks, Basil

Answer 1

I do use OpenOffice-Automation with Delphi a lot and I think there is no "wrapper" with higher functionality for Delphi.

There is a Delphi OO Project on SourceForge with helpers and examples as a starting point: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooomacros/files/Delphi%20OOo/Version%201.2/Delphi_OOo_v12en.zip/download

Then you have to study the UNO-API and use COM to call the UNO functions.
