According to help: "Starts in "headless mode" which allows using the application without user interface. This special mode can be used when the application is controlled by external clients via the API."
and OOo site adds: "The headless mode makes it possible to script an Office without any user interface and user interface interaction. It is a special mode used typically by external scripting clients. The Office has no user interface and the lifetime must be controlled by the external scripting client." By invoking OOo from commandline with -headless will be possible to run a macro _without_ X being up and running?
