Call xThisComponent.close( True ) on the css.util.XCloseable interface of the created document after you are done with it. > Second, http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=11744 not > only has a list of Filters (is there a better place to get that list > from?) it also suggests using "HTML (StarWriter)" in palce of > "HTML"...that's what I had to do as well to convert a Word .doc. Is > that the best practice? OOo has three kinds of text documents: TextDocument, WebDocument, MasterDocument. When you load a Word file a TextDocument will be created so you have to use the HTML filter of the TextDocument for HTML export. "HTML" is the filter of the WebDocument, so using this filter name for exporting a TextDocument should produce an error, "HTML (StarWriter)" is the correct name (the name is determined by history). BTW: for the other way around (HTML->doc) you should specify "HTML (StarWriter)" as *input* filter explicitly, otherwise OOo will create a WebDocument by default and the WebDocument has much less export formats than the TextDocument, especially it lacks a Word export filter.
