------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jul 3 21:46:07 +0000 2007 ------- I just heard from a developer that they used a windowless Open Office-X11 app to do some kind of mail-merge to print automatically, without interference of the user. He really hopes to get that same functionality in the Aqua version of Open Office. I would propose an enhancement that would go further, by exposing objects via Services and Applescript. Services are parts of your own program that you expose to other programs. If you look under the services menu under the application name's menu, you might find some stuff over there. The nice thing about it is that you can very simpel expose functions in your application to do stuff for other apps. See: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/SysServices/index.html I use them quite a lot, with (for instance wordservice.service from http://www.devon- technologies.com/download/index.html, that gives you the possibility to capitalize words, sentence etc. Making Open Office Applescriptable would do the same via a programming interface. The nice thing about it would be that this would make it possible to use OpenOffice via Automator to do all kind of nifty things. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
