As OpenOffice file format is XML, i.e. plain text, you can create OpenOffice 
documents only by using text files.

Create a template document with OpenOffice, put your own markups where you 
want to insert text, save it. Then uncompress it, replace the markups by 
data, compress it, and it's done. 

You don't need to understand the OpenOffice file format for simple things. Of 
course, if you want, for example, create a document with several pages, you 
must know what to do. But I think you can guess with a little experiment.

In a few words, something like ActiveX automation is not necessarily needed to 
exploit the power of OpenOffice.
