You can run OOo from Gambas pretty easily, but no one's written a 
component to read/write OOo documents yet.  All the pieces are 
there (gb.xml... well, i guess there's no gb.compress.zip yet) 
but no one's done it yet.

Since the appearance of gb.pdf I'm optimistic that someone will 
try it soon, though.  I'd do it myself if I weren't completely 
swamped with work.
