This isn't possible so easily. There are several other options, but I don't know which I should recommend because I don't know what your goal is. You could: - not create the first document at all (why do you?) - add the model of the second document to a MediaDescriptor and use loadComponentFromURL at the first frame, thus replacing the first doc - perhaps even don't create a second frame and only use a standalone model that you insert in the same way into your frame It's hard do make a good suggestion without knowing your intended workflow or functionality. > for example this does not work: > documentFrame.setComponent( > documentFrame.getContainerWindow(),officeDocument.getCurrentController()); Yes, this is not possible, a controller is owned by a frame as soon as you have created it and it can be only in one frame at a time. This means once you remove it from a frame to put it into another one the frame will dispose of the controller. You only can move the *model* from one frame to another (or have it in more than one frame at the same time), thus creating a new controller each time you insert the model into a frame. Currently this needs the way mentioned above (use a "Model" parameter in MediaDescriptor, see DevGuide), we are working on an API to make this easier and more elegant. > The guide says"Currently, the only way for clients to > construct a frame and insert a OpenOffice.org document > into it, is to use the > com.sun.star.frame.XComponentLoader interface of the > com.sun.star.frame.Desktop" but this is not > clear to me. Yes, as I said: Controllers can't be moved between frames, the only way to get a model into a frame is to create a new Controller. And the only way to achieve this currently is loadComponentFromURL.
