[Gambas-user] Work with Open Office from Gambas

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Hi Nigel,

> You can also call some OO/LO functions using the Shell command, which do not open the OO/LO user interface. For example you can convert document formats. The OO/LO documentation will explain the options and the syntax - use Google to find.

> You can create template documents using OO/LO. If you save them in .fodt format (a derivative of XML) your Gambas program can scan the template for identifiers of your choice and then make substitutions. The result is a very professional-looking document, generated dynamically by Gambas.

Never knew about this... Great! Do you know if it's possible to have 
such a document printed by OO/LO via the shell without opening its GUI?
