You can add a subfolder to the documents' package and (important!) add a MediaType to it (details can follow if you like this way). Then you can put any content you like into this subfolder (text or binary streams, other subfolders etc.). OOo then will preserve the complete subfolder on every saving of the document. Let me repeat that the preserving only works when a MediaType is set. The MediaType string should follow the usual namespace conventions OOo uses for other custom items like Interfaces, Service Names etc. > 3) Put them into the document itself as a content. You can assign document metadata to a document that OOo stores for you along with the document (it will end in the meta.xml stream). This works pretty well with OOo2.0. It only any allows to use data of any basic type (integer, float, string etc.) and sequences of them, but I assume that this will be enough for you. The data can be inserted through a PropertyContainer interface of the DocumentInfo object of a document and it can be read and written as the "regular" MetaData through the PropertySet interface of the same object. The tricky part will be that you must chose unique names for your new "properties". Here again the usual name space magic is recommended.
