Hi,

I suggest to combine the referred documentation (see my previous
letter) and macro recording feature of OpenOffice.org. Checking the
source of the recorded macro could give complete solution for a
missing step. I have used this method successfully to implement a
possible method for the Numbertext Calc extension to support simple
insertion and modification of numbers and their non-digit
representation in OOo Writer. The following Writer document contain a
text field, if you click on it, a number will be asked and the active
text field replaced by a new one showing the number and the output of
the Numbertext conversion:

http://numbertext.org/numbertextwriter.odt

(First, you have to install the Numbertext extension:
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/numbertext. It is
only a test: Maybe the final solution will use smart tags:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Smart_Tags. Also the language
of the translation has been fixed in the attached macro of the
document, yet).
