[David Villalobos Cambronero]

what is your suggest for the component name, gb.ODF, gb.openoffice, or someone else...

David

This code is not distributed by the company, so no. But this is not very 
important, as I wrote it, and I can wrote it again, or tell you how to do it. 
Moreover, you can't take this code as is, it is too "Quick & dirty".

Yes.

An open office component will have to provide the following features:

* Open a new ODF document from a template.
* Close it when it is done.
* Replace a markup by some data, dealing with the XML syntax.
* Help to insert tables easily.
* Help to insert new rows or columns into a spreadsheet easily.
* Other help methods. Only limited by your imagination!
* Run open office inside Xvfb (provided it is installed), to convert documents 
to MS format or PDF.
